Soon after starting medical school, my periods had stopped. Further evaluation led to a diagnosis of hypothalamic amenorrhea, a form of infertility in which insufficient hormones for ovulation are produced. I had always thought of having children, but years down the road, in my 30s, with an established career. At that time I was 27, going to school more than 300 miles away from my husband. Starting a family was not at the top of my mind.
