Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question.
First I have a few questions:
1. What was your height and weight before the accident?
2. What is your height and weight now?
3. Have you ever been given progesterone to induce a withdrawl bleed and did it work?
4. Were you injured in the car accident?
Thank you.

Hi, I am sorry it ttok so long to get back with you. I had some problems with the computer. my Hight was 51 105 before the accident, after the same, Although I did gain water weight later on after the accident. It happened fast I gained like 40lbs and went to the herb store for a water pill and lost most of the weight. Yes I was given proesterone, it did not work, I have had blood work for early menapause and the #s are wrong, I am not pre menapausale. I was hurt in the the accident, a lot of spine damage however, the loss of period was before the accident. Now that I have the computer fixed I will get back with you quicker. Thank You and Sorry!
Sorry about any miss spelling. It looked to me as if my time was about to run out. So I typed as fast as I could! I had to call the help center a few times, between pain, Dr, apts, and regular life stuff, then this computer was freezing up on me:( If you have any more questions, just ask because I am at my witts end with this! I really don't want a period but I want to be healthy and feel sexy for my boyfriend. I have enough problems, I want to enjoy something! lol TTYS, Also I have noticed my Neuropathy is geting worse, It is also traveling up further and further. I told my Dr today and he said I am sorry I don't know how much farther it will go. He also uped my water pill to 50mg, I am still not back down to 105 which boyhers me, but a weight I can deal w, I can still rock a two pieace bikini now,it took work, but still not there for my petite frame

So to summarize (with regard to the main issue of your cycles):
1. You are 32 years of age
2. You have not had a period for 5 years
3. You have had a normal workup including labs related to menopause
4. You have had a negative progesterone challenge (i.e. no bleeding with progesterone)
While doctors have told you that this is normal, it is not normal. If you are truly not getting a period, then the following should happen:
1. You should try a month of birth control pills - these contain estrogen. If you DO have a withdrawl bleed, then the FSH and LH need to be repeated
2. If you do NOT have a withdrawl bleed (and in the setting of the normal workup otherwise), then some consideration should be given to the possibility of an 'outflow obstruction' at the level of the uterus. This could be evaluated with a procedure where a camera is put into the uterus after dilating the cervix.
It might be time for a second opinion with a new OB/GYN. I would recommend focusing on the concrete GYN symptoms that you are experiencing. The other health issues seem to distract slightly from this specific issue, but if it is figured out from a GYN perspective, there might be progress on the other fronts as well.
I hope that this helps.
