My experience : Didn’t get my period for more than 2 years, even while taking the pill

---

Iv (F26) had a problem with my period and no doctor so far has been able to help. I get really frustrated because I went to several internists, 3 gynecologists and two endocrinologists and it seems like they don’t really feel a need to solve it? So I haven’t gotten my period in more than 2 years. I’ve done blood tests, urine tests and physical examinations and nothing indicated any abnormalities. I think I should do another ultrasound to my ovaries, (the last one was 4 years ago and was normal) I will do it on my next appointment in a month. My medical history and medications:

I got my period for the first time when I was 15 years old. It happened only once and then once again when I was 17 years old. Of course I knew it was a problem, but I was scared and didn’t seek medical help till I was 19yo. Then I was sent to do blood tests and i think (sadly I can’t get those bloods now anymore to verify) they showed high testosterone, for sure hormonal imbalances. I was then put on the pill: Meliane. My periods became extremely regular, on the clock and everything was fine. Then two years ago, or a bit more, I sadly can’t really remember the timings because I was very very depressed, at some point I stopped getting my period. While still being on the pill and taking it regularly. In those two years I’ve been trying a lot of different psychiatric medications for depression, anxiety and ADHD:

Citalopram (reacted very bad to it) Mirtazapine (made me feel great but made me gain 25 kilos in 1.5months which I couldn’t loose since) Aripiprazol (worked well for a month and then just made me hungry) Venlafaxine (still taking, 300mg) Lithium (still taking, 300mg) Wellbutrin (still taking, 150mg) Vyvanse (taking, 70mg)

I was trying to find out if maybe some kind of chemical interaction between the medications could stop my period?

Latest blood and urine test results (mentioning only the abnormalities):

Vitamin D deficiency: 10 nmol/l Folic acid deficiency: 2.8 nmol/L Low bilirubin direct: 0.09 mg/dl High transferrin: 411 mg/dl High cholesterol: 257.9 mg/dl High non HDL cholesterol: 172 mg/dl

Cortisol-blood: 33 nmol/L

Progesterone: <2 FSH: 3.70 IU/L LH: 4.40 IU/L Estradiol (E-2): <70

ESR: 23 mm/h C-reactive protein: 1.81 mg/dL

WBC: 12.4 K/ul NEUT.abs: 9.4 K/ul

Urine: Creatinine- u sample: 38.6 mg/dL Cortisol -U free samp: 45.5 nmol/L Cortisol-u free 24h: 91.0 nmol/24h

The biggest mystery of its all- in those 2 years, every time I took antibiotics (twice or 3 times), i actually did get my period on time (according to the pill).

Does anyone has any thoughts and ideas on what could be happening in my body??

TLDR I haven’t gotten my period in more than 2 years while still taking the pill (meliane). I am taking also venlafaxine 300mg, lithium 300mg, Wellbutrin 150mg and vyvanse 70mg. Even more mysterious- during those 2 years, the times I took antibiotics, I did get my period. Bloods and urine tests results included.

Thank you so much!!
