How To Get Your Period Back

i am 43yrs and ive been trying to conceive for the past 8yrs.am scared that iam reaching menipause,can i still get my menstruation back using fertility treatment 7 herbs.

Hi,
I think it would be best to work or continue working with a practitioner close to you, so your treatment can be adjusted as needed. In addidion to that you may want to look into Dong Quai. Dong Quai works by promoting blood flow to the pelvis where it will stimulate an absant or scanty period. It also nourishes the blood (it is in nearly all chinese herbal blood-building formulas). Treats iron deficiency and anemia. One of the best uses is it helps women who are not menstruating to invite there menstruation back. The increased circulation also helps to stregthen and balance the uterus. In rat studies it has been show to help build the uterus lining. Also learn more about fertility preperation by using The Fertility Cleanse http://natural-fertility-info.com/prepare-for-conception, and the Fertility Diet http://natural-fertility-info.com/the-nutrient-dense-fertility-diet. Best Wishes.

Hi b,

Not all prenatal vitamins are created equal, you may want to look into our Baby and Me wholefood prenatal multi-vitamin. So what do you look for when you are buying a vitamin? One of the first things I look for is that it is Food Based or has some food based ingredients. You also want to avoid unnecessary fillers, colors and preservatives. Next, you may want to try a Fertility Cleanse to help rid your body, uterus, liver and fat cells of excess hormones and stagnant old blood that has accumulated in your body since being on birth control. You could also use herbs to help clear the stagnant blood and increase circulation to the uterus while balancing the hormones. The best herbs for absent period are Dong Quai and Vitex..

Hi Annie,

Irregular periods are not a sign of infertility, but may be a sign of hormonal imbalance in the body. The best herb for regulating menstruation is Vitex. Vitex is an incredible hormone balancer, which adapts to women’s different needs. Vitex has been shown to normalize heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia), relieve amenorrhea (absent menstrual cycle), and decrease polymenorrhea (too frequent periods). Vitex even eases inflammation of the uterus or ovaries, so it’s good choice for women prone to painful fibroids or cysts, too.You may want to look into trying Pregnancy Prep Herbal Blend. Pregnancy Prep includes the herb Vitex.

Pregnancy Prep is a great blend for women who want to boost there general fertility and enhance there chances of conception. The herbs in this blend help to:
-Improve ovulation*
-Support fertilization and implantation of the egg
-Tonify the uterus -Promote circulation to the reproductive system
-Encourage uterine health
-Normalize progesterone levels
These herbs have been used for centuries and studied by science with great results.

The Fertility Cleanse is a great start for laying the foundation of hormonal balance and getting rid of toxins, excess estrogen, old stagnant blood and tissues that may have accumulated in your liver, fat cells and reproductive organs over the years.

Thanks for your support!

Hi Lisa,

I cannot say whether you will be able to conceive naturally or not. I cannot give advice as to whether or not you should use an egg donor or not either. I realize how hard this is for you, be gentle with yourself! Search your heart for the answer, try not to get stuck on the why. The answer will come, stressing out is not going to help!

Vitex increases luteinizing hormone production while mildly inhibiting the release of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). This indirectly boosts progesterone production and chances of achieving and maintaining a successful pregnancy. Vitex is also amazing at regulating the menstrual cycle. Vitex is an incredible hormone balancer, which adapts to women’s different needs. Vitex has been shown to normalize heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia), relieve amenorrhea (absent menstrual cycle), and decrease polymenorrhea (too frequent periods). Vitex even eases inflammation of the uterus or ovaries, so it’s good choice for women prone to painful fibroids or cysts, too.

Hi Fregata,

Irritable Bowel Syndrome is not caused from irregular periods. To get a handle on your IBS I suggest you work with your doctor on your diet. What you eat greatly effects your health and your fertility.

A Fertility Cleanse is a great way to start off your journey to healthy, balanced fertility. Because you have irregular periods, your uterus may not be ridding itself of old blood. A fertility cleanse can aid your uterus in flushing out old stagnant blood. It will also aid your liver in bringing about hormonal balance, by flushing out excess estrogen. Attaining hormonal balance will help you to get your menstrual cycle back on track. Every woman is different, you may get loose bowel from cleansing or you may not. Be sure to drink plenty of water, 8 glasses a day.

The two best herbs for regulating the menstrual cycle are Vitex and Dong Quai. These herbs need to be taken consistently for 3-6 months and beyond for desired results.

Because you have spotting when you should not you may also want to supplement with iron. Floradix is a wonderful whole food liquid iron supplement. You can find it at health food stores.

Hi Dalene,

I was wondering if you could give me advise on Dong Quai and Vitex-

For the past two weeks I have been taking Dong Quai (Whole Foods Brand) - 400mg once per day. I have also been drinking the Dong Quai Tonic (Yogi Brand) - two cups at night.

I have been noticing that my circulation has improved, I feel warmer generally, and I also noticed more swelling around my breasts - however my periods have still not returned. How long does it take to see actual results? I have lost my period for approximately 1 year now and I really want it to return as my husband and I are planning to start trying to conceive this June.

Do you think that Vitex is more effective for lack of periods or should I stick with Dong Quai? Do you suggest one brand of Dong Quai/Vitex over the other?
Also, how long does it typically take to see results?

Thanks Dalene for your reply.

Is it safe to take both herbs? I’m currently still taking dong quai but am thinking about adding Vitex (400 mg). Should I take them separately - like one in the morning and one in the afternoon?

Dalene,

I wrote you on 3-23 regarding fertility. Bless you for your good, sound encouragement…search your heart. I had 4 periods last year. It’s hard to conceive when your period is missing. I ordered Vitex, started taking it twice daily and have had 2 normal cycles. I hope this continues but I’m amazed at how quickly Vitex worked. I didn’t have 2 consecutives periods in all of 2008. Thank you, wish me luck and keep up the good work and GREAT information. All readers….it works!

Lisa

Hi Lisa,

Vitex should be taken throughout the month, stop when you are menstruating and begin again once you are done. Vitex should be taken for 6-12 months consistently to achieve desired results.

Best Wishes,

Dalene

Another question, Dalene, I was wondering which herbs/foods you would recommend to increase estrogen levels? I’m underweight and and I believe that is the reason why I’m not ovulating. I’m actively trying to put on weight but I would like to expedite the process by adding some herbs/foods that may in fact increase estrogen. Also, is vitex helpful for people who are underweight?

Hi Chelle,

Licorice (not the candy) has been known to increase estrogen levels in women.

Are you eating a Nutrient Dense Fertility Diet and taking a prenatal vitamin? If not these may increase your health. This diet represents a way of eating that supports and creates a very fertile body. We are what we eat and if we are eating foods that support ovulation, foster balanced hormone production, and increase the health of our eggs (to name just a few benefits), we are going to see the effects on our fertility. If you eat dairy products make sure they are whole fat, this may help with your weight. Make sure you are getting enough protein. You may want to consider working with a nutritionist to help you to learn how to increase your weight in a healthy way and to help you find out why you are underweight.

Vitex has been used for centuries to aid in fertility and has many studies proving its actions. This herb has an amazing intelligence by balancing which hormones need to be balanced without affecting the other hormones. I have never heard of it helping with women who are underweight.

Wishing you the best,

Dalene

Hi Angie,

Beginning with the PCOS diet would be the first best thing you could do. Next preparing your body with a Fertility Cleanse. The PCOS Fertility Kit would come next. You could take the Pregnancy Prep while doing the PCOS kit. Pregnancy Prep needs to be taken over time 3-6 months and beyond to acheive desired results.

You could take evening primrose if you think you need it. Take it for the 2nd half of your cycle, not during menstruation though. If you take everything that I had listed above, I don’t think you will need the Maca. Maca is a nourishing food, that helps to balance hormones and boost overall fertility.

Hi Dalene,

I am looking to take the the Dong Quai, Vitex & Pregnancy Prep, to get my periods regular again, to increase my chances of conceiving. I havnt had a period for 7 months and in the last year and a half I have only had 2 periods. Should I start the tablets first to get my period back or should I do the fertility cleanse first and then take the tablets?

Thanks in advance!

When doing the Fertility Cleanse, it is best to not take additional herbs during that time. You could resume them once you have completed the cleanse.

Hi Hethir,
I was on birth control for about 5 years and when I stopped taking them, my period completely stopped for a long time. My husband and I have been trying to conceive for quite a while now. Recently my period has been coming back slowly and I’m hoping you can give me some pointers on how to regulate my period and also to see if you can recommend anything to help me jump start my ovulation?

Hi…nobody has answered my question above….I will copy & paste again.

i noticed you mentioned dong quai. I was taking it for a while and noticed nothing. I’m not sure if all dong quai meds are the same but I purchased mine from online. Do you suggest a higher mg? The one I bought has about 565mg.

Hi ameeh,

Dong Quai is best used for 6-12 cycles. Fertilica Dong Quai contains 1,040mg. per 2 capsules which you would take 3 times a day. So yes, our dosage recommendation is much higher.

Dalene

Do you have anything that can treat oligomenorrhea?

Hi Dalene,
Thank you for all the information that you gave us! but I do have a question I had been taking Vitex for over a month and I had been feeling some ovulation pains but I’m sure that I haven’t Ovulated! I have irregular cycles and my DR. gave me Provera in order to bring my period every two months but I decided in taking Vitex my question is what is the dosage that I should be taking? the Vitex that I had been taking is 500mg once a day, I also had a question can I take Provera and Vitex at the same time? or should I take Prover in order to bring my period and then take Vitex after my period is gone?
Thanks in advance for your time!

please help me, i’m 14 going on 15 and my periods have gone. i haven’t had sex or anything, they just dissapeared. i’m trying to eat more, but no noticeable anything yet.

any advice… please.

I am 21 years old, I weigh 265.5 pounds my period has stopped coming. I haven’t had a period in like almost 2 yrs now. Before they stopped they was always irregular though. I have went to the doctor, and he just told me that I need to lose some weight, so now I’ve been eating more healthier, and at times when I use the restroom I notice things like my period is trying to come back now that I lost 10Ibs.What can I take to make it come back, and also flush out my body. I think this is another reason why I’m so fat to because I have to release this waste. So please help me bring this back. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Hi Hethir,
I am 16 years old and my doctor put me on birth control pills-Yasmin 28 because I have PCOS and I lost my period about 2 years ago. I was on Yasmin 28 for about 5 months, since September 2008 until I decided to stop taking it because it gave me serious side effects, so he switched me to a different brand called Alesse 28. I found Alesse 28 to be much better but i still suffered many side effects such as bloating, very painful periods, heavy/dark periods, a change in vision, and a lot of weight gain. I use to weigh 40 kg when I first started taking Yasmin 28 then after I stopped I weighed 53 kg, later when i was put on Alesee 28 I gained 4 kg so for now i weigh 57 kg. I have taken Alesse 28 for about 4 months now and today (sept 2, 09) I went to see my doctor about my condition (PCOS). He told me that the only solution to my problem is to stay on birth control pills until I decide to get married and have a baby then I would also need fertility medications to help with my pregnancy. I can’t believe that there is no other solution to my problem (PCOS) rather than staying on birth control pills for the rest of my life until pregnancy. I wish to stop taking birth control pills and seek natural ways to boost my fertility and get my period to come back. Is there any natural way’s you can help me to get my period back. I surfed through your wonderful website and came along your fertility shop. I read about the fertility cleanse and the PCOS fertility kit as well as fertilica omega, baby and me multivitamin, fertility smoothie pack and the self fertility massage. I am wondering whether any of these products can help solve my case of PCOS. I am still young and eager to find natural ways to get my body back into its natural state and to bring back my period. My doctor suggests for me to stay on the pill until I decide to get married and have a baby, which may be for another 8 years, but isn’t there other ways to naturally bring back my period and treat PCOS (without always having to suffer many side effects while on birth control pills)? Great thanks Hethir for your wonderful information, and I hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely, Sarah

Dear Hethir,

Thank-you so much for replying back, I really appreciate it. I read through most of your website and the link you posted above, therefore, I will definitely consider eating a PCOS diet. Regarding the herb vitex, I was thinking of trying out the PCOS fertility kit; however the kit already contains vitex, so would i still need to get the vitex that you sell seperately? or is the vitex that is included in the kit enough?

I am also thinking of trying out the 10 day smoothie challenge, therefore, is it fine to order the fertility smoothie pack and take it while on the fertility cleanse or on the PCOS fertility kit? Lastly, can I start with the fertility cleanse (since i lost my period for about 2 years and took birth control pills for about a year), while on the PCOS fertility kit? or should i do the cleanse separately, then continue on with the PCOS fertility kit? or are there any other suggestions?

Thanks for the helpful information! By the way, you ship to Canada right?

Truly, Sarah

Hi Hethir,

Thanks so much for your advice!
About the smoothie, what do you mean, not using fruit juices in the recipes? I mean, does it have to be naturally squeezed fruits? Can i still include organic fruits (blueberries, mangoes, strawberry’s) in the smoothies? Because I love fruits and I eat them everyday. I also make my own lemonade by squeezing one lemon and adding water. So i was just wondering whether I can still drink natural fruit juices with no added sugar.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Hethir,
I’m trying to add the fertility cleanse to my cart but its doesn’t seem to work and a note appears saying “The quantity of the following kit item in your cart has been adjusted to meet the available quantity we currently have in stock: “Liver Cleanse Tea 3oz.” I don’t understand why it does not work with me. In fact I tried to order both the PCOS fertility kit and the fertility cleanse together, however, only the PCOS fertility kit get’s added to my cart, and without the fertility cleanse. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!

No problem. Everything worked out great for me and I was able to order the fertility cleanse, PCOS kit, smoothie kit, personal massage, and the caster oil kit. Thanks so much for your help.

Hi Chea,

Vitex and Dong Quai have been found safe to take with the Fertility Smoothies. You may also take Prenatal Vitamins with these herbs.

Because you were on Depo for 12 years I highly recommend learning about the Fertility Cleanse. This cleanse helps to create a healthy foundation for conception and pregnancy. Birth Control is made up of synthetic hormones which may accumulate in your liver and fat cells. The Fertility Cleanse may help to detox your liver, helping to create hormonal balance and a healthy menstrual cycle.

Best Wishes,

Dalene

Hi Lea,

I want to let you know that there is hope for you! I personally know women who have conceived naturally with just one tube. I am sorry that you had such difficulties in the past, ectopic pregnancies are very tough!

You can combine Vitex and Dong Quai safely. Remember herbs work slowly over time, results are achieved after 3-6 cycles and up to 12 cycles. The key to herbs working effectively is consistency and proper dosage.

Traditional application for Vitex-
Capsules: 1,000mg a day is the suggested amount to use. Take vitex capsules all month long except during menstruation.

Tincture: Take 10-15 drops of vitex extract, taken 2-3 times a day all month long except during menstruation.

However, unlike powerful hormone drugs, vitex works slowly to normalize the body. Maximum benefits are often achieved after 6-12 cycles with vitex.

For Dong Quai: As a dietary supplement, take 2 capsules (2 caps = 1040mg) 3 times daily, preferably with meals.

Thanks for your support,

Dalene

Hi Ameeh,

“Excess estrogen from pregnancy, hormone replacement therapy, or birth control pills appears to increase cholesterol levels in bile and decrease gallbladder movement, both of which can lead to gallstones.”*

There are also many other factors such as obesity, ethnicity, gender, age, diabetes, fasting, cholesterol-ruducing medications and rapid weight loss.
The one that stuck out the most that can effect fertility is the excess estrogen. This would also effect your menstrual cycle. Have you read our Progesterone Fertility Guide? This guide can help you to determine if you are estrogen dominant and low on progesterone.
*Womens Health and Gallstones

Without knowing any of your additional health history I would say you may need to reduce estrogen and increase progesterone. This may also help you to bring back a normal menstrual cycle.

It is difficult for us to answer your questions based on just a small piece of the bigger picture of your health. It is helpful for us to know your lifestyle, health history, fertility challenges and detailed questions. That is why Hethir has created Fertility Consultations. This will better help us to guide you in the right direction for bringing about a balanced body and fertility. Honestly we need more information to serve you better. Please understand we hold you and your health in high regard and want nothing more than to help you help yourself achieve a healthy, fertile body. You may be interested in a Fertility Consultation.

Hi Juddy,

Being an athlete that is very active and your low weight may be contributing factors to your absent menstruation. Have you been to see a doctor about this? If not I think you should. If you are not having a period you are probably not ovulating. The Natural Fertility Diet may help you. Nutrition is the foundation for good fertility, you may need to include whole-fat foods. Fats are necessary for producing hormonal balance. Fats are not the enemy; they provide essential vitamins not found anywhere else. Be sure to include a variety of fats. This means no low fat diets. Focus on clean fats from clean animals and oils that come from olives, flax, avocados, nuts, seeds, and fish.

Without knowing more about your health history and lifestyle it is difficult to answer you properly. Herbs may help some. Since you have already read the How to Get your Period Back page you have learned what herbs may help. Nothing may help until you gain a bit more weight, but no one can determine that for sure except a qualified health care practioner.

I hope you can figure this out! Best Wishes!

Hi,

I am 29 with two young kids. I recently started having irreguler periods, I miss one then have a 3 or 4 week long one and spotting through each month. I have been taking fertility blend for 7 weeks and my doctor just prescribed me Provera 10mg for 10 days. Can I take both together or should I just use the Provera. I just want to get regular again!!

Thanks!

Hi Kaci,

I am not sure what the fertility blend is. What is the product name? Is it one of our products? We don’t recommend taking any fertilty herbs while on fertility medicatons such as Provera.

If you have more questions please contact us again.

Hi Amy,

Have you read our Absent Periods Page? This page is full of great tips on how to regulate your period. Here are the steps you may want to learn about to get your period back:

1. Natural Fertility Diet. Diet is so important for a healthy menstrual cycle and reproductive system. What you eat impacts everything.

2. Whole food multivitamin. Iron deficiency is one of the major factors for women not having a menstrual cycle and lack of ovulation. Other nutritional deficiencies can cause the menstruation to cease.

3. Learn about herbs that have been found to help clear the stagnant blood and increase circulation to the uterus while balancing the hormones.

Traditionally the best Herbs for amenorrhea (lack of menstruation)

Dong Quai
This is the main herb for this issue. Dong Quai works by promoting blood flow to the pelvis where it will stimulate an absant or scanty period. It also nourishes the blood (it is in nearly all chinese herbal blood-building formulas). Treats iron deficiency and anemia. One of the best uses is it helps women who are not menstruating to invite there menstruation back. The increased circulation also helps to stregthen and balance the uterus.

Vitex
Vitex is another great herb for amenorrhea due to hormonal imbalance. It helps to balance the hormones while not containing any hormones within the herb.

If you have not had a menstrual cycle for two or more months you may want to learn about Fertility Cleansing. The Fertility Cleanse may help to cleanse the uterus of old blood and tissues while helping the liver to get rid of excess hormones.

Be patient, the body needs time to establish a cycle and hormone balance. Be gentle with yourself and your body will come back into balance.

Hi,

I’m not quite sure what my next step on my journey is. I have been a part of this community for quite sometime. I am trying to get my period back and has been a long time. I have done the fertiliy cleanse back in September, then went to do the Increase Egg Health as I was diagnosed with Premature Ovarian Failure 2 yrs ago. I also started taking a tincture of the dong quai & vitex at the same time as the IEH kit. So far, nothing. Not even spotting, even after the cleanse. I also take maca, royal jelly, efa’s, raw whole-food multi, super greens and I eat very healthy, mostly organic. I have noticed a big difference with my libido (sorry if TMI) it has greatly increased, as well as my energy. But still no period. Is there anything else you can suggest??

Frustrated,
Lisa

Hi,

I am 23 years old and my husband and I are trying to have our first baby. I was on the depo shot for 7 and a half years, and I am trying to get my body back. I have been off the shot since September of 2009 and I still haven’t got my period back yet. I bought the basal thermometer and also the ovulation kit and I am still not ovulating, I also still don’t have a period back. I was wondering if there are any suggestions that may help my body to start ovulating and to start my period again so my husband and I can hopefully conceive sometime soon. I never thought I would ever say “I wish I had my period” until now….Thank you and I appreciate all suggestions.

Nikki

Hi Nikki,

Somehow our society has come to think that menstruation is a burden, but it is actually a healthy, natural sign of fertility. We need to have a healthy menstrual cycle in order to conceive and have healthy babies and bodies. So many women do not have this, not having a period is not a natural state of being for a grown woman.

Many women have had great success with the Fertility Cleanse Kit, the herbs Dong Quai and Vitex. Birth Control contains synthetic hormones which have to be filtered by the liver, these hormones can build up in the liver and fat cells causing hormonal imbalance. Not having a period may also cause uterine stagnation, nothing is being cleansed from the uterus when you are not having a mentstrual cycle. The Fertility Cleanse may help your body to cleanse itself of synthetic horomones, old stagnant tissues and blood. Have you read our Absent Period page? This page may help you to learn which natural remedies are best for bringing back a healthy menstrual cycle. I hope you can figure this out and go on to conceiving a baby!

Best Wishes,

Dalene

Hi Dalene,

Thank you for your advice, I will look into all those things. I read about the Dong Quai and it seems like that will bring my cycle back?!? Can I only purchase that online? I’m going to read about the absent period now. Thank you for your suggestions!! I appreciate it.

Nikki

Hi Dalene,

Sorry for the late response, I’ve been having computer problems…..to answer your questions, I will be 37 in March, I got a diagnosis from my RE 2 yrs ago that I had premature ovarian failure. My cycle was always normal (28-30days and fairly heavy) until I went off BC (2004). Ever since then it was always sporadic & light. I am not an active person (guess I should be) and I am a bit overweight (5′7 166lbs) I never had any symptoms of POF until I started taking fertility drugs (clomid–6 months) and then puregon shots for 3 months. That’s when I started having hotflashes & some nightsweats. Once I started taking herbs though, these all went away. I have been very consistent with the herbs but more then ever since last October. I haven’t had a period since around June (just spotting) I am pretty sure I ovulated last month only cause I saw a lot of eggwhite cervical mucous, which I hadn’t seen in a very long time!! Now, today I started spotting again (yaY!)
I have never been checked for any genetic thing.

Thanks again, for any advice,
Lisa

Hi Lisa,

Wow what a challenge you are going through! Sounds like you are getting some good results with the herbs. The key with herbs is consistency. It can take many cycles to achieve results when using herbs. Be patient. Have you considered a Natural Fertility Consultation, learn all about one here: CONSULTATION

All the Best,

Dalene

Yes I do mean the depo provera. I have been off it since September 9, 2009 and have not got my period back yet. I was on depo provera for 7 and a half years. I got off it right after my wedding because my husband and I want to conceive a baby. My doctor told me that if I was not ovulating by the time i went back to her, then she was going to put me on something help me get going, but now i am ovulating. I was just wondering since i am ovulating now and have not got my period back yet, can i still get pregnant without a period back? Thanks again.

Nikki

Nikki,

If you are ovulating there is a chance you could get pregnant, but working toward a healthy menstrual cycle may be a good idea. Our bodies menstruated to clear out the lining of the uterus and egg because it was not fertilized, this process in its entirety is important and healthy.

Hi. I was recently diagnosed with PCOS and my doctor prescribed me Metformin. Do you think i can still take it with Vitex

Hi Ameeh,

Does Vitex interfere with medications my Dr. prescribed?
Vitex is quite safe when used in its whole form. However, because of its influence on hormonal balance, it is suggested to avoid use with birth control drugs or hormone replacement therapy.

Hey
I am 18 years old and my periods were never regular but this time they are delayed for 3 months and 17 days..I dont know what to do nd i am really tensed..I am not sure about any specific reason but i just want to get my periods back..Plz help
Thanku

Hi Dalene,

Thank you for your response to my first inquiry.

I am so happy to tell you that my menstruation was back to normal after a 5 day spotting period. I was not convinced with my OB-Gyn when she told me that every person who is under the pill, will have a lesser/spotting menstrual flow.

When I read about your fertility massage, I realised that somehow a full body massage will help to regulate my menstruation. So I asked our regular massage therapist (who is very well skilled) about my spotting menstruation period. She massaged my whole body, focusing to my tummy and after 2 days, I menstruate heavily.

My only dilemma is.. it seems that my period won’t stop. Is there something wrong with me or do you think this is because of not menstruating for a month and lets include also my mentsrual period last November (similar to a spotting menstruation).

Will accupuncture works as well t regulate my period?

Hope you could give me your insight once again.

Thank you,

Andrea

Hello Hethir,
Ive been reading your site and advice all day and it has been really useful to me.
I was wondering if you could help me further by explaining to me about this. About 2 years ago I came off the pill after 6 years, In the roughly 2 months I was off the Pill I lost alot of weight and continually bleed for about 6 weeks, I saw my Doctor who put me back on the pill for the next few months after that my period ceased and I continued loosing weight (all up about 10 kilos) and became depressed. My Doctor then changed my pill to one specifically for skin (as I have had problems with acne too).
In the last few days my fiance and I decided to come off the pill as shortly after we are married we are hoping to try and concieve.
But I was wondering what was happening with my hormones that was different to everybody else’s, as they have normally post pill amenorrhea ?
Is this likely excessive bleeding likely to happen again?
and would the Vitex/ Dong qui herbs you talk about on here help me also?

Thankyou for all your help and advice, this site is super useful!

Hi Perry,

Wow, that sounds like a rough experience for you. Did you discuss with your doctor your concerns? It is hard to say what type of hormonal imbalance was causing this type of problem. There are so many different kinds of birth control it is hard to know what to say. There is no way for anyone to know if your excessive bleeding will come back. Are you anemic? If you have excessive bleeding again please ask your doctor to test your iron levels, you may want to think about taking an iron supplement.

Vitex may help with acne, long periods, excessive bleeding and hormonal imbalances caused from getting off birth control. Dong Quai is referred to as a blood tonic as it has a general effect on circulation. This could be helpful for women experiencing pale menstrual flow, absent periods, and weakness after periods (in TCM this is called blood deficient). It has also been shown to improve red blood cell counts. It is traditionally used for situations of stagnation (PCOS, endometriosis, ovarian cysts, and fibroids) as it increases the blood flow to the reproductive system reducing congestion and pain. Because of this Dong Quai may not be the best choice for excessive bleeding.

ps. no worries about the names!:)

hey
Yes i consult a Doctor but she just said this is due to your diet.
I am really worried because people are always telling me the problems nd diseases i will face due to not getting my periods since last four months.
Its a long time now and i dont know what to do.

hi,
i was diagnosed with PCOS when i was about 17 years old. now i’m 38, and until a few years ago it wasn’t really a problem as i thought i would never want a child. but things can change dramatically and after finding deep love the want of a child became very strong. i looked around unsuccessfully to find a natural way to heal myself and then opted for chemical aids with clomid and artificial insemination. i got pregnant at the first try but it was an extrauterine pregnancy and i had to take some kind of chemotherapy to have the misplaced fetus removed. since then it has been clear to me that i can’t rely on chemical drugs and i found you ;-).
i started the diet 2 month ago and had periods for the first time, since this chemotherapy in october,right after starting the diet, but since then they didn’t come back. i have ordered a lot of stuff from your site but it hasn’t arrived yet. i live in a country where it is very hard to find natural treatments. i have the feeling to walk in the dark, and have become overemotional these days. when i become like this i have the tendency to stop believing in what i know, that i should trust myself and heal myself with nature’s power and meditation. i tend to want to go back to chemical drugs with the false pretend that it will work better.
i feel my biological clock’s on a roller-coaster.
i feel much better in my body since starting the diet. i have never been overweight though, and so i am thinking maybe the diet is not enough…
what do you think?
thank you for this great site and for giving me the opportunity to believe, even if not every day, that nature can help me if i help myself with it.
take care
sophie

I am 32 1/2yrs old I have not a a period since 2000-2001 I was told that the lining of my uterus was gone and that it is about half the size that it should be…Will the Fertility Cleanse help? Also once I get my period back and get pregnant will the size of my uterus be a problem?

Hi

l have not had a period for almost a year now, but have been suffering from hot flushes, and increasing levels of passing water, My GP has advised me that l am at pre-menopause stage. l would like to think that there is something l can take to bring my periods back as l really would like to have children one day before the ‘change’ completely takes over. Can you pls suggest any remedies? l am 44yrs

Hi

Hello,
I am 24 yrs old and my hsband and i are trying to conceive. We have been trying for 2 months which i know is not that long but i am a little worried that it will be hard. I have always had irregular cycle. My last period was 4 days long and it was not a normal flow. I am now on day 35 of this cycle and still nothing. I dont even think i have ovulated yet. I take my BBT every morning which is why i know that i havent O’ed. Ive had a couple ultrasounds before and they both showed that i didnt have pcos. ive also had my thyroid checked and that was normal too. Something must be wrong somewhere for me to have irregular cycles like this. I took BC for 3 years but have been off it for 4 yrs now. after i stoped i didnt get a period for 7 months. now sometimes its every other month but never regular. Any advice? Vitex? progesterone cream? Thank you so much in advance. I am loving your site!

Hi Nathalie,

Refering to the “How to Get Your Period Back” article will help you to decide what herbs may be best for you. Because I don’t have a health history for you or know anything about your lifestyle it is hard to say what may be a good direction for you to go. What ever herb you do choose it is important to remember that consistency over time is the key to herbs working with your body to bring it back into balance. Diet is also very important. Many women who have been on birth control for years choose to begin with the Fertility Cleanse to create a foundation for hormonal balance and Dong Quai for bringing back consistent menstruation. We also offer Natural Fertility Consultations for women like you who would like a guide for thier specific fertility challenges.

All the best,

Dalene
