Expert: Ramona Quilter - 9/1/2006


Question
What if you have not been on birth control pills for some time and you still dont have a period. But every now & then you get the pain from your cycle trying to start but nonthing. I have been suffering for some time with this. Dr's have told me to have a baby and the problem will change. But how can I get pregnant when I dont have a period. Every Dr. I see they cant help me. Birth control makes me have severe endometriosis. Not only that no one wants to be around me when I'm going through a birth control cycle. I become real depressed. I have keep journalsof during those times as one Dr. has asked. I'm tired and weary of the problem.  

Answer
The periods that you have when you are on the pill aren't real periods. If you are not having periods naturally, there is probably something wrong but I'm not a doctor so I can't tell you what it is.  I'm sure you are weary and I hope you find a solution soon.  I would keep trying doctors until you find the right one.  A fertility specialist should be able to help you.  A naturopath might help, too.

Expertise

Natural Family Planning is a risk-free, safe, and economical alternative to chemical and barrier contraceptives. NFP is easy to understand, aids in fertility awareness for spacing children as well as increasing communication and assisting couples to concieve. I do not answer questions about other forms of birth control.

Experience

I have personal experience with all birth control methods, I practiced NFP throughout my child-bearing years and I am a paralegal with great research skills. I am totally convinced this is a viable alternative and I can back-up my statements with research.
