Hypothalamic Amenorrhea

Fe

Since no one seems to shed some light on H.A I think I will...

I was on depo for 3 years. My first shot when I was 16, my last shot when I MET my soul mate age 19.

On depo I bled the whole time, yes 3 years. My doctor said "you either bleed or your dont"

After meeting my husband, I was due for a shot in a few days just after we met. But we had that connection.

So it's due for me to get my shot, he tells me it's my choice I dont have too and he wouldnt be mad because hormonal birth control sucks kn the human body. (I didnt have a regular period before depo) but I only weighed 115 lbs.

So I'm 5 foot 11, weight 133lbs today.

I've been to a endo, I been to the doctors, I've tried everything....

The E.R drew my blood , listened to my heart beat and everything came back normal. My testosterone was 62. But normal is 4 to 72? So idk why they told me it was elevated. So I go to my recommended endo and he was a nut job.

When I mad my appt. The nasty lady in the front says "YOUR PAPER WORK, WHERE IS IT... WE SENT IT TO YIUR HOUSE TO FILL OUT" ... never got sent to my house which is why I arrived a hour early....

Good start right....

Now my endo came in and I told him everything I'm experiencing, how I'm feeling, what my concerns are.... and he just not even listening lol.

So he takes this reflex hammer and hits my forearm with it...

Im staring at my husband because he came back with me due to me being nervous. My husband is fucking laughing.

After the endo read my lab results he says "i need more" ... he gave me a paper to get the same blood results i already have...

he didnt say 1 word on the "elevated" testosterone.... he didnt say 1 thing about my reproductive system....

I said I gave you my blood work from 2 weeks ago with the same results you want.

" ITS NOT FROM MY COMPANY " okay so I'm just $$$$ to you....

So he then listens to my heart on my left side but above my bra and shirt then switches to my right side above just my shirt. He made a weird face like he smelled shit. And he just yelled "HEART MURMUR"... IM LIKE

The ER just said everything is normal my heart sound great. So in a matter of 2 weeks I got a heart problem lol..

HE THEN GAVE ME A REFERRAL TO GET A EKG, AND OTHER SHIT. But yet nothing to do with my coochie...

I left and cried. I really though I had no answers. I tried anything, chatting with doctors online to see what my problem is.

Welp. It just took one person to listen to me. One person to ask the proper questions because how am I to know what to tell you?

I'm chatting with this women who was furious no one gave me any answers after I done spent over 600$already. And I'm at the same spot.

I told her I'm 22, no period in 2 years since the depo and im 5 foot 11 at 133lbs.

HER FIRST QUESTION AFTER WAS WHAT SENT A GLIMPSE OF HOPE DOWN MY SPINE....

"Do you exercise"

I said yes, just getting to work is 7 miles one way. I bike 14 miles a day to work. Butninnever though to bring it up because exercise is good right? Well in moterations, not excessively. I just thought it was normal because that's my every say routine.

She said you're doing too much excercises without enough calorie intake.

Duh. I dont even eat breakfast because eatting then biking 7 miles makes me feel yuckie. And majority of the time, I'm so broke I dont make lunch. But I'm never hungry so I though it was normal.

She explained I'm stressing my body out and its using whatever energy it can. But without any food it's running off of my stored body fat.

My body fat percentage is at 15..

I didnt know any of this, and my doctors never asked.

She gave me a meal plan, told me what to eat and just eat up.

So hubby and I have just been feasting 🤣😭🤣😭

I hope this helps any women out who were having similar issues.

Now that I see this now... I'm like wtf , why wasnt it as clear THE LAST 2 YEARS OF MY LIFEEEEEEE
