Trying for 15 months for 2nd child

[Dr James Thompson]

Hi Hattie,

Thank you for posting.

Has anyone investigated why your periods have lightened so much? You mentioned that they were heavy initially and now practically "non-existent". I would certainly be looking to have this looked into. There are hormonal causes for this that could be investigated including thyroid disorders. Lots of exercise or significant weight loss can also impact on your periods, so lifestyle factors could also play a role.

Let's hope that there is a treatable/reversible cause for your infertility this time around.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes

James
