is there a way to try and jump start my period if i have been diagnosed with pof?
i was diagnosed with premature ovarian failure about three weeks ago. i can't get in to the specialist until june 2. is there anything i can try over the counter to try and jump start a period? i have not had one for 7 months. i desperately want to be able to conceive my own child and will try almost anything.
sorry about your diagnosis. i too was given the diagnosis of pof this past february, after a failed ivf cycle. i was told that my only chance to have a successful ivf cycle would be to use donor eggs. so that is what my husband and i are doing next month. i have regular monthly periods though, apparently unlike you. if you truly have a diagnosis of pof, there are not any fertility medications that will make it possible for you to create a genetic family. sorry. it's a fact. you can use the strongest fertility stim meds at the highest doses, and it won't do you any good. furthermore, having a period does not mean that you're ovulating...which is exactly the point of having pof. there is no pharmaceutical way, nor technological way available right now to provide the opportunity for a woman who has pof to have her own eggs retrieved. perhaps you were mistaken with what your diagnosis was? i would ask your re again. best of luck to you. if you have any further questions, please feel free to email me. i am here to provide support for you as well.
addtl info: i just realized that you stated that you aren't able to get into an re until june 2nd. so who gave you the diagnosis of pof? i suppose your gyn? not meaning to knock your doctor, but the reality is that a gyn is simply not educated enough nor specialized enough to make this diagnosis. coming to the conclusion of pof is made via blood work and exams. also, it usually is made only after a round of stim meds fails miserably. i suggest you get a real diagnosis when you see an re. you probably simply will find that you just need a some clomid to help "kick start" your period. but that's a far cry from actually having pof.
you can use provera, starting 10 days before your period is due and stopping when you want to have a period.<br><br>best wishes if you have been using contraception, that is not ideal in terms of falling pregnant. it will usually take much longer than 5 attempts to fall pregnant. it can take up to a year for a normal healthy couple to conceive.<br>to work out when you ovulate, you first have to work out the length of your cycle, counting from the first day of your period to the first day of the next. ovulation should occur 14 days before the next period.<br><br>best wishes unlikely but not impossible. i would suggest that you start your new method of contraception as soon as possible.<br><br>best wishes if you had vaginal bleeding after you took the plan b (or equivalent) then treat that as you period. if you are more than 7 days late for your period, check a home pregnancy test. if you are having sex and don't want to get pregnant, you should see a doctor to get on a reliable method of birth control. i also recommend having your partner wear condoms to help prevent pregnancy and stds. see more... try to call md office and ask if they can expedite the appointment. if they have cancellation, they hopefully can squeeze you in to their schedule. tell them the urgency. if the pain is so bad and you have no way to be seen early by pmd- consider about urgent care. see more... just relax for now. if you are getting any vaginal symtoms, then check out for any std. check home pregnancy test a week after you have a missed period. always use protection during sex. see more... the first sign of early menopause is the alteration of the menstrual cycle and the absence of periods. also, if you are trying to get pregnant without success, the cause of infertility may be related to ovarian failure.

there are several factors that lead to irregular menses. weight loss or gain can also lead to irregular menses. i do not think you should worry too much about having a period after six days of finishing a normal period. in fact, your ovaries could be suppressed by birth control pills and have not returned back to normal function although you had normal menses. normally, it takes about three months for your ovaries to gain normal function after taking birth control for several years. unless you skipped 3 to 4 menses at a time i would not worry too much.
