Is Pregnancy Possible During Irregular Menstruation Due To Menopause?
Question: I am 40 and would like start trying for a baby. I have had hormone bloods that are normal an ultrasound scan that looks normal. Told to relax and have intrcourse 3 times a week. I am taking vitamins and folic acid. My periods have suddenly stopped which we think is due to stress. I have had my dad very poorly and 2 close relatives have died so we think this is the cause of stopped periods. Can I still conceive if I usually have a regular my cycle? My cycles at 27 to 30 days but today is day 55 and still no bleeding. What are your thoughts please? Will my periods come back naturally looking at my ultrasound scan?
I have seen my Gynaecologist and GP who say I am panicking and the cyst on my ovary is normal. Many thanks in advance and please answer as soon as you can. Thank you

Brief Answer:
No need to panic right now. The report is fine!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this delayed period. Seen the amount of stress that you have reported, it is possible that your periods get delayed. This is further supported by the fact that you have a normal ultrasound as well as hormonal test which rule out any possibility of menopause or malfunctioning ovaries. I honestly believe your menses would soon return and pregnancy is very possible. Go ahead and relax and exercise some more patience with an optimistic and positive mindset. This way, all will be okay!
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

How do I get my period back. My GP has told me to take inofolic as it regulates periods
Brief Answer:
Periods should return spontaneously!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Periods usually return spontaneously and am sure that’s what will happen. Folic acid doesn’t regulate periods. It simply helps with preparation for pregnant as studies have shown that taking folic acid before pregnancy decreases the risk of neural tube malformations.
I wish you well and let me know what your immediate thoughts are.

When I had the scan they said I should start in 7 to 10 days do you think I will. Also I have a BMI of 41 was 45 and working to bring it down. Do you really think I can conceive naturally?
Brief Answer:
Though hard, it is very possible!
Detailed Answer:
HI,
The older we get, the lower the chances of conceiving. However, they are all intact and there is just no reason to be worried about them. Give yourself a year and if naturally doesn’t come to fruition, we can consider assisted means for reproduction.
7-10days is an estimate and with report saying you are in a secretory phase, after that comes the menses. Therefore, it’s possible. Let’s’ remain hopeful and see what happens within this stipulated interval.
I wish you well.

From my scan do you see that I do ovulate? Other than not bleeding at present
Brief Answer:
Thats possible!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
The scan shows a dominant follicle an others small. This is consistent with what happens prior to ovulation. It is most likely that the dominant will be secreted and that constitutes ovulation. So, my response is a YES, most likely.
I hope this helps. I wish you well.
