period

You tubes have little to no relationship with your periods....

Testing needs to be done to see why you're missing periods, such as PCOS, and then treatment can be provided...

If pregnancy is desired, then tubal reversal or IVF are the choices

Your tubes shouldn't necessarily have any effect on your cycles

You should get testing done to make sure something else isn't causing you to miss your periods, such as PCOS

You can still be pregnant even with a history of tubal ligation. You should get checked for this as soon as possible to assure that it is not in the tube. If you are not pregnant then you may be having some hormonal issues that are interfering with your menstruation.

did you have your tubes tied or cut and burned?

dr.q what is an pcos?

chelsha i only had them tied i'm going to try not to think so much about it maybe my cycle is changing

PCOS is a condition where you dont ovulate each month. INstead of ovulating the follicle it ends up as a cyst. Its difficult to get preggo since you have no idea when you will ovulate and you dont have a period every 28 days - more like months go by without a period.

Also your body produces more of the male hormones than the female hormones hence why women with PCOS has a hard time ovulating.

is that why most are a bit more hairy angie? They produce more testosone?

PCOS is defined by 3 criteria:

1. Ovulatory abnormalities, ie irregular periods

2. High androgen levels (androgens are hormones that are typically higher in men, causes hair growth and builds muscle, thickens the voice...)

3. Polycycstic appearing ovaries on ultrasound

If a 2 out of the 3 criteria are present, the diagnosis of PCOS is made. Other conditions that could mimic PCOS would also need to be ruled out before the diagnosis is made.

So to answer the above question, women with PCOS could have increased hair growth because of increased testosterone and other androgen levels.

thank you doc.vic however i dont have any of the above symtoms no extra hair no pains during sex just no period and my tubes are tied and have been for five years so pls do you have any other advice for me

You need some blood tests to 1. rule out pregnancy, as you could be pregnant even if your tubes are tied, 2. TSH to assess your thyroid function, 3. Prolactin, and other hormonal evaluation. You would need to seek care with your Ob-Gyn or your REI.
