I am 26 yrs old and have never had a problem with my period. In Aug2001 I moved back with my parents after living with a guy. This was a stressful decision. Got my period lightly in Aug and then didn't get it again. In Dec 2001 went to the doctor, had blood tests, showed hormone levels were a little low. Had ultrasound everyting ok. Doctor said the cause for not getting my period was stress. In the meantime I started to get very bloated. Looked as if I was pregnant. I work out everyday at the gym and eat well. The doctor put me on birth control pills for 3 months and I did get my period each month. However, I had terrible cramps and gained 6 pounds. I am so upset and depressed from this weight gain. Now my doctor wants me to take progesterone. I researched this and found that this could cause bloating and weight gain. What is my answer. Being stressed out from the weight gain and bloat isn't going to help my situation. What are my alternatives? I would like to try something natural. Any suggestions..HELP...
