It can be quite frustrating if you are trying to get pregnant and yet have no period. Having a healthy cycle is step one for boosting your fertility naturally and being able to get pregnant. There are a couple of reasons your cycle may be irregular such as stress, dietary deficiencies, low body weight, getting off of birth control pills, hormonal imbalance, or other underlying issues.
Since the lining of the uterus is not being shed, it is very important to clear out the old blood and establish a healthy cycle again. This can be done naturally and effectively with herbs and nutrition. I have talked with many clients who have been offered synthetic estrogen to get there periods going again… taking synthetic estrogen for this issue is like using a sledge hammer on a thumb tack.
Here are the steps you can take to get your period back:
1. Eat a healthy fertility diet. Diet is so important for a healthy menstrual cycle and reproductive system. What you eat impacts everything.
2. Take a 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. Use herbs to help clear the stagnant blood and increase circulation to the uterus while balancing the hormones.
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 months you may want to do a Fertility Cleanse. The Fertility Cleanse helps 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.

Marissa,
Beginning by creating a balanced, healthy hormonal foundation may be best. Have you learned more about Fertility Cleansing? You can learn about it here: http://natural-fertility-info.com/prepare-for-conception
I only know what little information you gave me and that is not enough to say whether Vitex is a good option for you or not. You can learn about Vitex at this link: http://natural-fertility-info.com/vitex
Learning about how Vitex works may help you to make a decision on your own.

Hi Dalene,
I have been reading all the comments that have been left and the answers that you have given them and I feel that I may get some answers from you that I am not recieving from my gynecologist. I have white discharge every month on my underwear but have no menstral cycle for about a year or so maybe a little longer. In 2008 I was diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure when I collapsed on my livingroom floor and the paprmedics had to be called and took me to thye hospital. My fiance and I have been trying to have a baby for about a year now and it is frustrating not being able to conceive can you tell me what the best thing for me would be to do?

Hi, my name is Tamika i am 32yrs old and have recently lost over 200lbs and have very low iron due to gastric bypass surgery. I now has absent peroids for the last year, ive had may 3 peroids last year and 1 this year that lasted about 10 days. I am wanting to start a family now and having a hard time due to my absent peroids. What can i do naturally to start them back? I would also consider takin Dong Quai and Vitex.
Any info would be greatly apprecitated
Hi Tamika,
Honestly I am not familiar with diet/nutrition guidelines for gastric bypass surgery. Please get the approval of your doctor before you begin any herbal remedy. We now carry a 100% whole food Iron supplement. Because it is whole food your body will be able to digest and absorb it easily. Blood Builder provides 100% whole food iron with synergistic nutrients and organic beet root to help maintain healthy levels of iron.
Because I don’t know if you have any other fertility issues such as PCOS, that may be contributing to your irregular menstruation it is hard for me to guide you in the best direction. You may want to consider a Natural Fertility Consultation, you can learn about a consultation here: http://natural-fertility-info.com/natural-fertility-email-consultations

Hi Marisela,
Birth Control pills contain synthetic hormones or hormones from other animals, these hormones have to be filtered out by your liver and kidneys and can build up in your liver and fat cells, causing hormonal imbalance. You may want to learn about Fertility Cleansing. The Fertility Cleanse is a special cleanse that uses specific herbs, foods, and techniques to help your body to detoxify the body and uterus prior to becoming pregnant.

i had the hpv jab ive finished all 3 jabs and i havnt had a period in over 4 months! the first jab delayed my period, the last 2 i havnt had a period since! do you think i should take vitex to clear everything and put me back on track?
Hi,
I’m 19 years old turning 20 this year in october, My fiance’ and i would like to start a family but my period’s have been irregular for almost a year now.
i had the rod in my arm a while back to stop me from getting pregnant, and ever since i’ve had it taken out i haven’t had a regular period. I’ve had 2 periods since December 09 last year. I’m really scared that my chance of being a mum is slowly becoming something of a “dream” to us because of whats happening.
PLEASE HELP ME!
Carrie.
Hi Carrie,
Congratulation on your engagement! I have listed below some ideas for you.
For most clients that are getting off of hormonal contraceptives we suggest they start with a Fertility Cleanse. You could then move on to either Vitex or Fem Rebalance and see how things go from there. As always diet plays a big role in hormonal balance so make sure to check out the Natural Fertility Diet. Check out the resources I have liked to above and see what resonates with you.
Hi Charlie,
I am not familiar with medications for HPV. I am also not familiar with how long this type of medication stays in your system. We generally do not recommend using fertility herbs with certain medications, we do not know how they will effect or react to one another. Please talk to your doctor about your concerns and questions. Vitex may be helpful, but you would need to get permission from your doctor.
All the best,
Dalene
Hi, I am 15, and started my periods when I was late 13. I had them normally for about a year. The last period I had was September 09, its been 7 months?! I work a part time job, which i slightly stressful, and I run a little bit. I eat healthily too. What is stopping my periods? Please, help me figure this out, its all I can think about these days!!
Hi Darlene,
Thank you so much for your informative website. It is truly a blessing. Here’s my situation. I am 46 with 2 grown children. I have had multiple miscariages, have had IUI’s, fertility meds, etc. Up until 82 days ago, my menstrual cycles were regular. No other signs of possible perimenopause. Now, 3 negative HPTs, and 1 negative blood test 2 weeks ago. On the day of the blood test, I purchased Vitex and began taking 1600 mg. All I have now is uterine cramps. I am just so frustrated. What should I do?
Hi Rebecca,
There is no way for me to know what may be causing your periods to be irregular. It may be best to see your gynecologist. Please also speak to your parents about this, even if it may be embarassing to you. If you would like to take herbs to help you get your period back it really would be best to see a naturopathic doctor in your area or an herbalist becuase you are still a teenager and the dosage needs to be specific for you. I hope you can have the confidence to speak to your mother or another adult woman about this who can help you find the help you need.
Best Wishes,

Hi Suzanne,
As we age especially after the age of 45 there is a greater possibillity of irregular cycles. Our general suggested dosage for Vitex is 1000mg a day, 1600mg is quite high. Vitex also works slowly over time, 6-12 months of consistent use to achieve benefits. Most women over 40 need to focus on Improving Egg health and Uterine Health (Pregnancy Prep, L-Arginine, Self Fertility Massage). Natural therapies work best done consistently over time.

My period stopped abruptly. My doc took me of bc after 13 years. I got my period right away and it was wicked. Then that was the abrupt end. I though that if it was menopause it would gradually decrease. I have not had a period since November 2009. Its been 6 months with nothing. Wondering if Vitex would jump start it again. Please advise.
Hi momsgot3,
Birth Control pills can really cause hormonal imbalance after coming off of them, especially after 13 years of using them. Without knowing more about your health history, lifestyle, age, ect there is no real way for me to say if Vitex is your best option. You may want to consider a Natural Fertility Consultation. If you are someone who has questions about what natural fertility therapies may be right for you, the Natural Fertility Consultation is for you.
Ideas you may want to learn about that may help you: Fertility Cleansing, Vitex may help, but your body may need cleansed of the excess synthetic or animal hormones from your birth control.

Hi everyone,
I just want to know what I can do to get my period?
I have pretty much hit puberty but still no sign of my period when I was a baby the doctors took out my appendix, 1 ovarie and a Fallopian tube so does that effect my period? Will I ever get my period? I need to know so I don’t keep believing that I’m gonna get it If I am not gettin it plz someone reply
Hi Caitlin,
We all develop at different times in our lives, when you are going into puberty it is always on the mind of every girl, “when will my period come?” No one can know for sure when you will get your period. Having one of your ovaries removed may mean you will only ovulate every other month. If you are concerned please talk to your mother or another woman that you are close to about how you feel and what your concerns are. Have them help you talk to your doctor about your unique situation and what your past surgery may mean for your fertility in the future. Be confident you will be just fine. Many women have gone on to have children with only one ovary and fallopian tube. The best thing to do would be to jave your mother find a female gynaecologist that you are comfortable around and that you can trust.

Hi Dalene,
After having an irregular period throughout my teen years and early twenties, I went to the gynocologist when I was 23 and had an ultrasound. They found that I had Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and put me on Yaz birth control. I took them for 2 1/2 years which normalized my menstrual cycle. I’m 25 now and in February of this year I experienced a severe anxiety attack and have since experienced two more. I stopped taking the pills in mid March and still have not gotten my period. My two questions are, could the anxiety be related to the birth control pills and am I experiencing this anxiety because I haven’t received my period? I’m thinking that my hormones are probably very off balance and that is contributing to the anxiety. I was thinking of taking Dong Quai to encourage blood flow.
Thanks,
Marcella
Hi Marcella,
I am not a medical doctor and I am not familiar with the birth control drug Yaz. If you are concerned about anxiety being a side effect from the hormones in this medication please talk to your doctor about what the potential side effects may be.
If you are looking to get the excess hormones out of your system you may want to learn about Fertility Cleansing. The Fertility Cleanse is a special cleanse that uses specific herbs, foods, and techniques to help your body to detoxify the body and uterus prior to becoming pregnant.
Without knowing more about your health history, lifestyle, ect. it is hard for me to guide you to the best herb for getting your period back on track. PCOS is a complicated and unique to each individual with this diagnosis. Working toward reducing the effects of PCOS on your fertility often requires diet and lifstyle changes.

HELLO
Iam a recenlty veteran of the US Army were i was put on the Depo shot for about 6 months or so. I have been off the shot for almsot 4 months now. With my husband getting ready to deploy yet again we are trying to conceive before he goes so he can try to be a part of it for his first child. Ive tried a cleanse by GNC but still have not gotten my period yet. The doctor at the Army hospital put me on prenatal vitamins and i dont take any other medications. Iam wondering if a fertility cleanse would truly help me get my period back and make it easier for me to conceive. I work out 6 days a week and i would say im in pretty decent health. I watch what i eat and take my vitamins daily. Any advice or comments are greatly appreciated as at this point i am willing to try anything to get what i lost back.
Hi Erin,
The Fertility Cleanse is a great way to create a healthy foundation for hormonal and uterine health, it also helps to rid your body of the excess hormones from the Depo shot, but it takes one month to complete the cleanse, I am not sure you have that much time. Without ridding your body of the excess hormones you may continue to have hormonal imblance for many months before the Depo is cleansed out of your system on its own.
Vitex and Dong Quai may be great choices to help you get your period back, these also take many months to acheive benefits. Self Fertility Massage is a cheap effective way to help promote a healthy menstrual cycle from home.

Hi,
on the 24th of september i gave birth to a beautiful healthy baby girl. Ever since i gave birth to her i had no period until the 1st of june (when my miss is 8months) & now a month later due again i sitll havnt had a period
I had a ultrasound and got told i had polycysitic ovarian syndrome, however i just want another baby! PLEASE HELP
Hi Katie,
Many women have irregular periods for many months (it can be up to a year) after giving birth, every woman’s body is different. Are you breastfeeding?
Since you have been diagnosed with PCOS you may greatly benefit from eating a PCOS Diet. A big part of the problem with PCOS is the high insulin resistance. Resistance to insulin increases the bodies insulin levels which effects normal ovulation by preventing the body from ovulating or limiting the maturation process of the released egg. This directly has an affect on your fertility and ability to conceive. Women who are insulin resistant are also 4-5 times more likely to have a miscarriage. Imbalanced insulin levels due to PCOS make it difficult for the embryo to attach properly to the uterus. Eating a specific PCOS Fertility Diet is one of the best things you can do to improve your chances of becoming pregnant.

Hi,
Im 24 years old and was recently prescribed Androcur to take for 4 months for Hormonal Imbalances. Prior to taking this medication my periods were always regular. I took the drug for the first 10 days of my cycle about 2 months ago and didn’t get my period again for the second month, it’s now moving on towards the third month and still no period. I’m not taking bcp. Will my period return. I did a pregnancy test just incase but it was negative.
Dear Rebecca,
I am an herbalist, not a medical doctor, therefore I am not familiar with the medication Androcur. If you have concerns about this medication please talk to your doctor right away so that you can be informed of side effects, how the medication works in your body and what the goal of taking it is.

Hi Im 13 years old, and going to turn 14 in September, I recently got my first period December 27, 2009, and it lasted for 8 days so it was my period and since then i haven’t gotten yet, so it’s been 7 months and i doubt i’ll get it this month. Do you have any more advice on how to get my period to come back, I know that periods can be very irregular during the first two years and also becasue I am young. I have also told my mom about this and she said my aunt had the same problem, but she didn’t get it for about a year, she said she went to the doctor got a shot and her period started coming back. My mom is going to make an appoitment with a Gyn to see if we can get my period back and see what the problem is, also in May or June, i started to spot and i thought it was my period but it wasn’t, I spotted for 1 week and it was very little, and I assure you I am not pregnant. So any more advice you can give meand thank you if you answer my question.
Dear Daniela,
Because of your age it would be best to wait and see what your doctor says. If you do not want to use medications to start your period talk to your mom about your desire to use natural options instead. She can help you look for a Naturopathic Doctor in your area. Some areas of the United States have OBGyn’s that are Naturopathic Doctors as well. A naturopath can prescribe herbs and other natural therapies that can help you to get your period back. Because you are still developing it is best to get a recommendation from an ND or herbalist that you can work one on one with, that way they can give you an exact dosage that is just right for you.

hi im 31 and have been diagnosed with pcos i havent had a period for about 6 months but 2 months ago i moved to africa and in the first 3 weeks i felt stomach cramps and experienced spotting very light and only for one day! i am not pregnant but i am very worried my period has been on and off for a while but never this long. i read on your site that perhaps i should start with an fertility cleanse then i should take the pcos kit is this correct what do u recommend
Dear AK,
Often times a huge move or stress can delay your period. You may want to give your body another month to see how it adjusts to your new life. In general a Fertility Cleanse is a great way to create a healthy foundation for uterine and hormonal health. The PCOS kit may also be beneficial if you are having trouble conceiving. Eating a PCOS Diet is a great way to help women with PCOS. A big part of the problem with PCOS is the high insulin resistance. Resistance to insulin increases the bodies insulin levels which effects normal ovulation by preventing the body from ovulating or limiting the maturation process of the released egg. This directly has an affect on your fertility and ability to conceive. Women who are insulin resistant are also 4-5 times more likely to have a miscarriage.

Hi, I am 27 yrs old and moved to USA in 2009 after getting married. Since then i am experiencing absence in periods. I took acupressure treatment for a month in beginning of 2010 and got my periods regularly for 3 months. Now again no period for almost 2 months. I don not know what’s causing absence in my menstrual cycle. Please suggest what should i do? Thanks.
Hi Doc, I am 26 about to turn 27 in November. I have had PCOS for about 10+ yrs and was only diagnosed medically 2 yrs ago. I have actively been trying for the past 4 yrs to have a baby but the only time I get my periods are if my GYN gives me medication. I am currently on Metformin 500mg and It’s my 3rd round of clomid that I’m taking only now im on 100mg instead of 50mg. I am interested in trying your cleanse but I wonder will it work for me. I want very much to get pregnant before my birthday but can I start this cleanse at any point of do I have to start it after my period has stopped?
Dear Kunjan,
So you stopped the Acupressure treatments? You may want to consider beginning them again if you feel they worked for you. You may also want to consider a Natural Fertility Consultation or reading back through How to Get Your Period Back and research each of the natural therapies in that guide.

Hi Nicole,
I first want to make it clear that we are not medical doctors, we are herbalists. We are here to provide information to help you to make an informed decision or to help you learn natural remedies for fertility. We are not here to treat or diagnose. The Fertility Cleanse Kit should not be used while on medications for fertility. The cleanse kit is best begun the day after your period ends. If you do not have regular periods the cleanse may be started on any day you choose, count out the days as if you did have a regular menstrual cycle.
Best Wishes,

Since coming off the pill I have had absent periods for 3 months. I am waiting for results back from my doctor on some initial bloods tests.
I would like to try the Dong Quai herb you suggest, and I would also like to try the Fertility Cleanse. Is it okay to do those at the same time? I see that The Fertility Cleanse Kit should not be used while on medications for fertility – which i’m not yet. After readin up on your fertility diet I thought I would add a superfood to my diet as well. Should I be cautious about doing too much you all at once? Thanks.
Hi Rachel,
The Fertility Cleanse Kit should not be done at the same time as Dong Quai. Dong Quai may be used after cleansing is over. Doing “too much” depends on the individual, it is always best to be cautious when beginning any new herbal product, but it really depends on the individual and what herbs/supplements they are interested in taking.

Hello,
I’m 30 years old and I’ve never had my period on my own except when I’m on Birth Control and other hormones. My FSH and LH levels are way low and I’ve got osteopenia.

hi i havent come on my period for 6months the doctor sent me for a pelvis ultrasound scan and had me results today and everythin fine, but i still feel there something rong as i get bad stomach pains and bad stomach bloating and i am on the toilet loads can anyone help me???
Hi Tanja,
It may be best for you to see a Naturopathic Doctor that you can work one on one with. Your condition is beyond our scope of practice. You may want to learn about herb like Maca. Maca is a nourishing food for the endocrine system, aiding both the pituitary, adrenal, and thyroid glands (all involved in hormonal balance.) Maca has the ability to affect key hormones in both women and men without containing hormones itself.
Maca helps to stimulate and nourish the pituitary gland, acting as a tonic for the hormone system. When the pituitary gland functions optimally, the entire endocrine system becomes balanced, because the pituitary gland controls the hormone output of the other three glands.

Dear Rebecca,
If the doctor you are seeing now is uable to help you, it may be best to seek a second opinion about your condition. Bleeding for that long is not ok and can be very dangerous. Talk to your doctor about including an iron supplement as that much blood loss can also lead to anemia. Please see a doctor, this condition is beyond our scope of practice.
Take Care!

I mentioned this site and Vitex to my doctor, so she did research and okayed this would be something that I could try due to my absent period ever since coming off birth control 5 months ago. Is it okay to take Maca and Ultragreens along with Vitex?
I’m also now following the fertility diet. What is your recommendation for pairing the diet w/ Vitex and also with the Fertility Cleanse. Should I start or end with the Fertility Cleanse? Should I first focus on getting my period back with Vitex?
Hello,
My girlfriend has been on B.C. for about 9 months now and she has yet to have her period since she started. She does not seem to be concerned about it but I am worried that it is either not healthy or just not normal. She is a small girl only about 115 lbs and is allergic to gluten. Im not sure if either of these might be causing this but I would really like to know if she is alone in this situation an if it is unhealthy.
Hi Rachel,
Thank you for taking the initiative to talk to your doctor about your concerns, way to go!
It is has been shown safe to take Maca, Ultragreens and Vitex together.
The Fertility Cleanse is usually done first, as it is the main tool for creating a healthy foundation for hormonal balance and a healthy uterus. Vitex should not be used during the cleanse, another reason the cleanse is best used first (so you don’t have to start and stop the vitex). If you already started the Vitex, it would be best to stop using it until the cleanse is over.
Best Wishes,
Dalene
Hi Alex,
How nice that you are concerned! Lets face it, there are just not a lot of good options out there, that are also good for our bodies when it comes to preventing pregnancy. Many birth controls are designed to prevent a menstrual cycle from happening. Without knowing what kind of birth control she is on it is difficult to say if this is normal. It is never “normal” to not have a menstrual cycle. Women’s bodies are designed to have a menstrual cycle. Not having a menstrual cycle is a sign of hormonal imbalance, which many birth controls create, to prevent pregnancy. If you are concerned, communicate this to her, have her talk to her doctor. I talk to many women everyday who have been on birth control for many years and then have trouble having a regular cycle afterward or trouble conceiving. You have to weigh the risk, creating another life or intentionally preventing one with synthetic or animal hormones. Every decision like that is up to the individual and should be respected as those decisions are unique to that persons situation. I commend you for looking into it. This is a tough road to navigate, as having a child is a huge responsibility!

hi my name is ashly i am 17 years old and have not had my period in 7 months.I had it in february then slept with my boyfriend and have not had it since..right after i slept with him i moved out and made a 10 hour drive then 4 months later moved again and now 3 months later have moved yet again.i am overweight by 100 hundred pounds yes trying to lose,but i am concerned about my [periods they said my uterus is not good and my hormones are unbalanced..any advice on if this produdct would help??
Hi Ashly,
Because you are not quite yet an adult and your body is still developing, growing and changing it is best for you to see a specialist or a practitioner in your area. Someone who can work one on one with you, and find a remedy that is unique to your fertility challenges as well as other issues you may be dealing with. You may want to seek out a Naturopathic Doctor or herbalist in your area. Thank you for your understanding.

I had a baby 18 months ago and my husband and I want to have another one. I stopped taking Yaz approx. 8 months ago and have been having an cycle usually 35 days. Then this month have yet to have my period and it has been 43 days and counting. I took 2 pregnancy tests which were both negative. This has been really worrying me because without a period we can’t concieve or even know when ovulation may happen next. I went to the store and bought some herbal supplements, Evening primrose, vitex, and some vitamin B6. Do you think that this the best next step? Or should i just sit and wait for my period to come before taking these? I have been taking a multivitamin or prenatal vitaming daily for some time now. I just feel really helpless just waiting. It was just so easy to concieve my son and this time it is taking awhile.
Hi Danielle,
It sounds like your ideas are right on track and may help or not, there is no way for me to know for sure. Vitex has been shown to help regulate ovulation and improve timing of the menstrual cycle. It can take a long time for some women to have their cycle regulate after using birth control. You may want to consider learning about the Fertility Cleanse, as it may help cleanse excess hormones from your body that may still be lingering from the birth control.
Best Wishes,
Dalene
