What is the difference between primary and secondary amenorrhea?
It doesn’t make much of a difference what your diagnosis is in terms of therapy, but the diagnosis of primary amenorrhea refers to the fact that you never had a period on your own. In your email you write that you never ovulated on your own, but did you have another diagnosis then like polycystic ovaries or something? In that case, your ovaries might have been making hormones, but they were being produced in such a way that you wouldn’t get periods. That’s the only way I would consider classifying you as ‘secondary amenorrhea’ otherwise I think you are right, that your amenorrhea is primary.
