[quote=Anonymous]I agree with going to an RE for a fertility work up. Both you and your partner. I went through this some years ago, I was 34. Right after coming off the BCP to try to conceive, I lost a fair bit of weight, which made my period irregular - no previous history of that. My OB (at GW MFA, but has since moved away) had us see an RE for the bloodwork/ baseline fertility work up. She said that if I were not interested in conceiving a child, the next step would have been for me to see an endocrinologist. Everything looked normal, so the irregular periods were dubbed “idiopathic”. I didn’t feel ready to jump to fertility treatments, and my OB was supportive of that. She suggested I try to gain some weight in a healthy manner and also to consider acupuncture. So I ate a lot of protein & high fat foods for a couple of months, and gained some weight, which was enough for my periods to return to normal. I’ve since had two healthy children. Good luck!
