Q:Will I be able to conceive?

I came off the Pill a year ago and have only had two periods since.I'm worried that I won't be able to get pregnant.

A: As you've had two periods since stopping the Pill,it means the problem isn't likely to be related to the Pill,but rather something called oligomenorrhoea (infrequent periods),which can be due to a hormone imbalance.It can happen if a woman is very underweight,is very overweight or stressed.It can make ovulation infrequent,so conception is less likely to happen.Or it could be due to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) that can cause irregural periods.An ultrasound scan and a blood test will diagnose this.Your upcoming hospital tests should shed some light on things.
