I am 29 years old. I have never had regular periods. I started working with a family doctor when I was 21. He put me on birth control and said that after a year, my periods would regulate themselves without the pill.
I stopped taking the bill right before I turned 22. I was going to be getting married and wanted to have a few months off the pill before a pregnancy would occur (hopefully). Wasn't planning on getting pregnant- just thought if it happened- great. No pregnancy occurred. At 25, I started working with a reproductive endocrinologist. He did 1 day of hormone tests and then put me on a few cycles of Clomid which showed ovulation but pregnancy did not happen. He put me on 2 cycles of Metformin and pregnancy did not happen. He recommended IVF. I stopped seeing him.
2 months ago, I started working with a naturopath who specializes in hormone balancing. He did one month of spit tests and found that while my estrogen does the slight dip and spike around time for ovulation, the progesterone just stays the same- very low. He called it Estrogen Dominance and says it is why I am not getting pregnant. So, I am now doing troches calendar days 5-9 and then drops days 16-29. I am on my second cycle. Any thoughts? Has this worked for others?
