absent period
HI Doc,
We have been TTC since Jan 05,my period was regular all my life. Aug/Sep/ Oct/Nov - was 2-3weeks late. Saw a gynae, he put me on Stamino Gro. I have yet to get my period since 9 Nov 05. I went for all the hormone tests-they where fine. Dr wants to do a suger test to see if I'm PCO. I dont think it's PCO cos I'm slim ,have had regular periods and have no pains what so ever.
1. What could be wrong with me ?
2. Can cysts be picked up via an expertal scan and pap ?
3. What other tests can I go for to determine my problem ?

Stress or chnages in diet could cause irregular periods, particularly if you were always regular before. An ovarian cyst could also do this.
While it may be possible to diagnose PCOS on external scan, an internal scan is more accurate,
A Day 21 progesteron can be done to see whether you are ovulating. Checking your thyroid function would also be a good idea.
