Hoping to hear some success stories from anyone in a similar boat to myself to cheer me up. I came off the pill in September 2011 after taking it for a good 12 years and since then... nothing basically. I've had two random bleeds - I wouldn't really describe them as periods as they are so brief, plus one after a trial of progesterone (again so minimal I barely noticed). Scans all normal (so no PCOS) and I don't know the exact numbers but FSH/LH tests revealed no cause for concern.
I saw a gynaecologist in November 2012 who told me to put on some weight (my BMI was 21 at the time so I'm really not in eating disorder territory), which I have done (around half a stone, which is quite a bit for 5ft nothing!). He also told me reduce my exercise which I have also done. Maybe worth noting that I had a stress fracture in this time which almost 2 years of no periods couldn't really have helped.
I think the next step is Clomid, but have read some stuff about it not being very successful in people who don't have periods anyway. Anyone had anything similar happen to them?
