Patient's question:
I haven't had my period for almost three months, and I'm not pregnant either. I'm now taking traditional Chinese medicine to regulate my body, and my husband and I plan to start trying for a baby next month. I've heard many people say that if you don't have your period, it means you're not ovulating and therefore cannot get pregnant. Is that true? Do women ovulate when they don't have their period?Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally speaking, when amenorrhea occurs, it is usually due to the absence of ovulation. From the perspective of eugenics, it is recommended to plan pregnancy after the menstrual cycle returns to normal.Advice: It is suggested that you visit a regular and professional hospital specializing in infertility for an endocrine examination. Based on the hormone levels, targeted treatment can be provided. Additionally, there is one point to note: during the treatment process, ovulation may return to normal first, leading to pregnancy. In such cases, menstruation may still not occur. Although this is rare, it should be monitored. Generally, during treatment, if no contraception is used, it is necessary to regularly check for pregnancy according to the menstrual cycle.
