Cycles stopped with OTC supplements
Posted: Wed Nov 28, 2018 6:23 pm
Hello! I am a 40 year old G3P2 with normal cycles until I started an OTC supplement with Myo-Inositol and Vitex in the hope it would improve my chances of conception. My age has me scared that I wont have success naturally. I took 3 weeks worth, did not get my period at the scheduled time, so I stopped and it has been 2 months since any period at all. I live overseas currently where there is a language barrier, so when I saw a local RE, he stated based on my US, that I was having "non functioning ovaries". He started me on a medication called Duphaston and took some labs which I don't have back yet. I am to go see him within the first 1-5 days of my cycle if this medication induces it, or finish the whole week's worth and go back if my period is not triggered within 10 days of stopping. I am not totally certain what this is supposed to be doing and what typically would be the next step if the medication doesn't work.
I appreciate your input, Drs. Thank you!
