Can Taking Adderall For ADHD Cause Problems In Conceiving? What Is The Suggested Treatment For Bicornuate Uterus?

So ever since I started getting my period at the age of 12 i have always been irregular. About 6 years ago me and my husband started ttc for the first time. After one year of no luck I went and talked with my ob.. we tried pretty much everything. As far as clomid. No luck..i wasnt even ovulating. my dr. Had me go get an ultra sound done and the radiologist pretty musc said everthing looked normal but you may have a bicornuate uterus but they couldnt tell for sure and recomended the mri and told me since i was 180 pounds it would probably help if you lose a lil wieght. So another few months went by with no success and we decided to just give it a break for now...so here we are 3 years later and about 5 months ago I was diagnosed with adhd and the dr. Put me on adderal. Which really helped with my cycle. I was getting it every 28 days. And not to mention ive lost about 50 pounds since last year. And now my period is aabout a week late, for the past 2 weeks ive had this wierd taste in my mouth, i smell everything, my breast hurt really bad, im very moody, i have white lotiony discharge, and constipated. Ive never had these symtops except sore breast a day before my period started. Yesterday i took a first early respons pg test and it was negative. I know it could all just be in my head and my period will probably start tommorrow, but im just worried that there could be some slight chance of pregnancy and ive been taking adderall. What do you think could be wrong with me?

Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
You should have a substitute / stoppage for Adderall while you are trying to conceive, as it is not recommended for intake during pregnancy.
All the symptoms that you describe are not specific for pregnancy.
The only proof of pregnancy is a positive pregnancy test.
So if your test is negative, you are mostly not pregnant.
However, please see a doctor as your history of irregular cycles and no ovulation with CLomid is suggestive of PCOD ( polycystic ovarian disease ) or POR ( poor ovarian reserve ).
So please get investigated for that.
Also bicornuate uterus should be confirmed via laparoscopy alongwith fallopian tube status evaluation
Take care.
