Summary:
Not menstruating and not pregnant. Should I be concerned?
The medical term used to describe "absence of periods" is amenorrhea. Women normally do not menstruate before puberty, during pregnancy, and after menopause. When a woman does not get her period when she normally should, it may be the symptom of a treatable medical condition.
If you are a woman age 18 to 40 who has had normal menstrual cycles in the past, but stopped getting your period for three or more months, you may be experiencing secondary amenorrhea.
If this describes you, you’re invited to see if you may qualify for The SPRY Trial. The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of an investigational medication for women with secondary amenorrhea.
If you qualify, you will receive investigational study medication, study-related medical exams, and laboratory services at no change. You may also be reimbursed for time, travel, and other expenses.
In order to participate in the trial, women must be evaluated by a trial doctor and meet certain requirements including:
- Being a female between the ages of 18 and 40
- Being premenopausal with an intact uterus
- Be in generally good health
- Be willing to participate in a clinical trial
