hiiii,
Welcome to HCM.
You are suffering from Secondary Amenorrhoea for last 6 months.Also you are trying to conceive and you got last period 6m ago after taking MPA.
There are several causes.First exclude possible pregnancy by doing blood test for HCG.Other causes are PCOD (more common),thyroid dysfunction,over wt or under wt,psychological problems,eating disorder,certain drugs,hormonal imbalance etc.
So do some primary investigations to evaluate underlying pathology.Those are USG lower abdomen,LH/FSH,blood estrogen & Progesterone level,PPBS,blood prolactin,thyroid & lipid profile.
After all investigations,consult with your doctor and you will be treated accordingly.
One thing you should be concerned that MPA can cause irregular/delayed menstrual cycle or long time infertility after discontinuation..
Besides,you control your body wt by regular exercise,take healthy diet with avoidance of fatty food,avoid stress,take proper sleep along with vit-E & nutrient supplements.
Be well.

He welcome to Health care magic forum. Being a 26 years women with no periods you should first get your periods regularly, to conceive. The reason for irregular periods or absence of periods could be PSOD, anaemia, or some other harmons defeciencies. I advise you to consult a gynaecologist for regular periods, then you can think of conception. You may have to get the follicular study, harmonal essay, besides other routine tests for confermation.
Besides i advise you some diet recomendations as take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, milk, egg, meat, sea foods, fruits, juices, and dry fruits to build blood, general health, and resistance to fight infections. Wishing for a happy recovery and thanks for calling.
