Hi Alex,
Don`t know if you can help me, but I thought it was worth a try asking? I have recently come of the pill (January) after 10 years and am trying to conceive - however during the last 2 years I regularly skipped the sugar pill, therefore skipping my period. I have also been a pretty regular person at the gym eg. 8hrs a week. However since I have been off the pill, my period has been very very irregular 14 weeks and now 7 weeks. I went to a gynocologist and he checked my weight (normal) and did an internal and external scan. He said all was normal and had about 8 eggs just sitting in my ovaries - which relates to my history of not having my period. my blood tests came back normal (hormone level etc). He asked about exercise and i told him what/how much I did - he then said that this was my main problem. Body has gone into shock mode. He has now banned me from exercise for a month. If nothing changes, he will then put me on hormone tablets. he is also sending me for a blood test on day 21 of my cycle. However I am not convinced that it is because of my exercise routine - I am concerned that it is because I used to skip my period so regularly that I have ruined my cycle. I failed to mention this "skipping" to the doctor - should I tell him. Please help!!
