Missing 17 periods

Has anyone else experienced this? I thought I had PCOS but the doctor ruled it out. She just said its my body and gave me hormonal birth control, which I do not want as it doesn’t fix the issue. I have polycystic ovaries, but no hormonal imbalance according to her. She said polycystic ovaries just means you’ve got many eggs arrested from releasing.

My period was regular for 5 years. I lost it for a year when I was in high school. But it became regular and now I am 23 and missing it for over a year. I feel miserable about this honestly. Like I dont even want to go on dates because I fear I will bring fertility issues into their lives. I just want to feel the way I felt at different parts of my cycle. I actually miss PMS crying. lol. I felt connected to my body.

I tried hormonal birth control for three months, I felt good but the same issue returned when I came off. Still no period. I now have vitex in my hand and I am scared to try it, but I feel like there is nothing else to do.

Has anyone had success with this herb? LMK
