No period after traumatic accident?

I broke my pelvis in 4 spots on August 10th after my horse fell on top of me, and I haven't gotten my period since. I am sexually active (please no comments-- advice isn't needed on that subject) and I practice safe sex. I have taken pregnancy tests and they've all came out negative. I just want to know if this is normal, and when I should expect to get my period. Or if I will ever get it again? The doctors told me that there is a chance that I could be infertile after the accident..

  • I'm very sorry about your accident, to begin with. Emotional stress, wight gain and sickness can all definitely impact your menstrual cycle and cause it to stop for unpredictable periods of time. We can't really say 'oh, you'll get it back in October for sure', y'know? I would say that if the lack or menstruation lasts for around a year that would definitely be long enough to cause concern. A couple of months isn't that bad. Your pelvis is meant to protect the soft reproductive organs and they definitely could have been damaged by the break. I would say that you should visit a gynocologist asap and get him or her to address your concerns and find out whether or not you are still fertile for sure- its much better to know than to wonder in cases like this, I think.

  • I'm sorry for your accident! But no I wouldn't see this as weird at all.. If you do not get it within a year I would go to a doctor and see if you are in fact infertile. If you broke your pelvis you might've hurt something yknow "in there". good luck!
