A member asked:

I only get my period while on birth control is there a chance my ovaries don't work?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See a gynecologist: If you do not get periods naturally and one when using birth control, you may have a medical condition. You should see a gynecologist to be worked up for this. You should have your thyroid and prolactin tested, as well as be evaluated for PCOS. This will help to determine how well your ovaries are functioning.
