Im Having Auto Immune Condition Too ( SLE & DSDNA Negative) ANA Strongly Positive. My Last LMP Was - 14th Feb 2026 After That No Periods. My Gyneac Told It's Perimenopause But It Can Be Temporary As I'm Still In Recovery Phase Hence She Asked Me To Wait ,& Watch . Will I Never Get My Periods?! Im Worried 😟

Your ultrasound and AMH report back up what your gynaecologist told you. The AMH is below 0.1, and the scan's own impression reads poor ovarian reserve with a thin lining, both pointing toward perimenopause rather than a pause caused by your recent illness. A severe infection can delay periods for a few months, but it rarely pushes AMH this low on its own.
Next Steps
It's reasonable to continue the watch and wait plan your gynaecologist suggested, and ask her about checking FSH, LH and estradiol to see exactly where you are in this transition.
Health Tips
If your periods don't return over the next few months, please discuss it with your gynaecologist again, since bone and heart health need more attention once periods stop for good.
