Question 1

can you get pregnant if you have amenorrhea?

Accepted Answer

Very unlikely: Amenorrhea is caused by an inability of the ovaries to produce hormones. If they did start to work again ovulation could occur. If the egg gets fertilized pregnancy could occur. Unlikely, but possible.

Question 2

if you have a low body weight can you still govulate and get pregnant if you have amenorrhea?

Accepted Answer

Yes but low chance: Need more information though, as to how low the BMI is, how long the amenorrhea is being going on, what there  hormone tests have been done?  Clearly, the chance of pregnancy is very low if the amenorrhea is long standing.

Question 3

is it possible to get pregnant if i have secondary amenorrhea?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Secondary amenorrhea (lack of a ovulation cycle in a woman who previously had one) can be caused by a number of factors, but almost all can be overcome and ovulation induced in one way or another.  For example, often the problem is weight gain which will interfere with ovulation.  Losing as little as a few pounds can restore cycles.

Question 4

is it possible to get pregnant if i have secondary amenorrhea from stopping birth cotrol pills after 5 years?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Secondary amenorrhea can resolve itself at any time. You will ovulate prior to having your first period, so there will come a time when you are fertile, and you have no idea when that is!  of course there are non-reversible causes of amenorrhea, like premature ovarian failure, that will never resolve, but they are unusual. Post pill amenorrhea usually resolves itself.

Question 5

i have secondary amenorrhea and ended up getting precum inside of me today. i was wondering if it is possible for me to get pregnant.

Accepted Answer

It is very unlikely: If you do not ovulate at all, you will not get pregnant . If you have "secondary amenorrhea" caused by chronic anovulation, it isn't likely for you to get pregnant .

Question 6

my girlfriend has amenorrhea . she has never had a period. she's 24 . does this mean she can't get pregnant?

Accepted Answer

: A woman who has never had menses by 15 or older may not have all the parts. There are rare birth defects where this occurs. A simple ultrasound of the pelvis may be a good first study to evaluate the process. If she hasn't ever had menses, there is a chance she is sterile for one of several reasons.

Question 7

i have secondary amenorrhea and have been told by a gynaecologist that i am not ovulating (at all) what r the chances (if any) that i can get pregnant

Accepted Answer

Not very likely: If you are really not ovulating, you can't get pregnant. You just can't count reliably on not ovulating all the time (so if you don't want to be pregnant, consider birth control). When you want pregnancy, you may need infertility treatments (clomiphene to start and going up from there to ivf, if needed) to get back to ovulating. Rarely, this could be early menopause, requiring donor eggs.

Question 8

how do u know if u have post pill amenorrhea? can u still get pregnant during this time?  can a doc give you anything to help? is it caused by stress?

Accepted Answer

Post-pil amenorrhea?: This means having no periods for a while - like months to over a year - after stopping bc pills. Women who had irregular periods before starting the pills are at greatest risk. You can get pregnant during the time of amenorrhea (no periods) if you ovulate and have unprotected sex. So be sure to use a "barrier method, " foam & condoms, etc., to protect yourself. Stress induced? Don't know. Good luck.

Question 9

primary amenorrhea. can have treatment . to get pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

What is the source: The source of the primary amenorrhea is the most important issue to determine success. What is the source?

Question 10

i have a friend who wants to get pregnant but has never had a period. she won't go in and find out why. she's 22. i guess my question is can she get pregnant still if she has the parts. i looked it up and it's called primary amenorrhea. so can she?

Accepted Answer

: How do you know she has all the parts?  There are rare individuals who do not have a connection of the vagina to the upper uterus/Fallopian tubes. The uterus is structure where the egg goes to implant and grow. The lack of menses implies that there may be no uterine tissue to support a pregnancy. Until she verifies, she has ALL the parts, not just a vagina, no reasoned answer is possible.
