My period went missing nearly a year ago after very very regular periods, always. I have had blood work done for menopause twice, and both times it didn't show I was in menopause. My doctor advises that I regularly have a period, and should take hormones or BCP to trigger. I haven't been on BCP for 15+ years because I am convinced it was the source of depression/anxiety. A friend mentioned research showing increased breast cancer with number of cycles in a lifetime, so I am a little wary of artificially inducing cycles.

I am otherwise healthy (dealt with a parathyroid issue, but surgery was nearly a year ago).

Anyone had experience with no period, but not menopause? Did your doctor recommend triggering regular cycles?
