Hi!
May I suggest you copy/paste your note and show a specific title; example
no period; wanting a baby help
This board is very active with 3-4 full screens daily of new posts/replies.
Then send a note to moderators asking them to delete this post since it's NON-specific. You've got to grab people's attention by showing what you are going to talk about.
I wish you all the luck in the world!
Edited: Just read some of your replies to posts and want to offer some suggestions that will help yu and us. I know you are new and I do not mean to pick on you ... offering suggestions where you can get the most out of this board and helping us too.
You replied to someone posting for 1st time, please go in and EDIT/PENCIL icon it. Many of the sentences repeated over & over.
Also, for those of us with chronic lyme, please limit your paragraph to 6 - 8 lines of text and DOUBLE SPACE for each paragraph. We can't read things as is ... lyme fog & can't concentrate. Thank you Barbara for understanding.
Also, when you reply, you should go to the top or bottom where it shows POST REPLY in the black box. At 1st when I started, I could never find this.
If you want to quote part of poster's comments, then use the " ". It is also easier on my eyes & other chronic lymies, if you delete the [QB] at the beginning & ending & quote is NOT BOLDED, which hurts our over-sensitive eyes.

Hi there. Do you mean your 'menses' -- ? Lyme certainly takes that away prematurely for many of us. I was 44 so I didn't miss it, but you must be much younger than I! How old are you - you don't say in your post?
There are a lot of "anecdotal" stories about Lyme and hormones, i.e., messing with women's hormones and periods, wreaking havoc with our thyroid, etc. However, sadly, not much hard research. Maybe someday?
Have you seen a fertility specialist?
Has your OB/GYN run a hormone panel to see where your body "thinks" it's at? Because mine ran one, and she told me my period is NOT coming back, and I am way POST-menopausal according to my hormone levels! (That was at age 44 - YIKES!)
Believe me, NO ONE here thinks you're nuts at all. And if your doc told you you're not "normal," (insensitive clod), well -- you're in good company once again 'cause none of us are "normal" either!

What does your LLMD say?
Have you taken hormones? That happened to me, years ago. I took hormones and got pregnant immediately.
