I am 29 TTC but I only get my period every three months. Why does it only come every three months?

Question

We have been ttc for 2 1/2 years and no luck, talk about getting depressed about it. I got my period june 29th and we had s*x from day 9 until day 19 and so when should I take a test.... I never know whats going on because the so call missed period thing happens to me all the time every month is a missed period until the third month from the first period. UGH! What do I do????? The doctor told me lose 20lbs and come back he told me I wasn't getting pregnat or my period due to weight. I am only 135lbs sometime flucuate to 140lb. I am really short though... But still that sounds a bit rediculous...

Answer 1

the doctor is full of sh** see someone else

Answer 2

If you are really really short (like under 5feet) then 140lbs could be a little heavy...I would start by calculating your bmi it will give you an idea of what is a healthy weight in relation to your height.... calculate it here:

As for the long cycles...it does happen...if they are regularly the same length than you are probably ovulating and you most likely ovulate 12-14 days BEFORE your next period so its good to time intercourse  for the 5 days before that.

Good luck and it never hurts to get a second opinion...

Answer 3

You are obviously only ovulating every 3rd month that is why you are getting your period then.  Your weight can have an affect on fertilty because it affects your hormone production (not saying that you overweight). If your doc has said to try losing weight just try it; it cheaper and far less work than IVF treatment it may help and if not it hasn't done you any harm.

Answer 4

Actually, alot of people have who are overweight have trouble conceiving. (Not all, but alot). I would try losing the weight, but at the same time try other things. Maybe tell him that you've been trying to lose the weight for years with no luck, then they might start something else, such as fertility drugs. I would also suggest having yours and the fathers fertility checked as soon as possible.

Good luck!

ttc 8 years - got tired of my drs bs and expensive tests so did my own research..  i want my money back..  lol

Answer 7

Your doctor doesn't sound very competent. It sounds like you should speak to a fertility specialist.
