I have been off my birth control for 9 months now and I would still go months without a period. After months of no period I would have one light for a month or two. In most cases I've read about people don't have them at all. i have never hear of anyone having longer periods. Is there anyone else like this? Also, have you found that other women in your family struggled with PCOS.

Ok, so I have a weird question. My area down there has always been SUPER sensitive. When I was a young teen, I discovered this by accident. The sensation from my pants caused an orgasm once, and bruising another time. So, I started wearing pantiliners daily to deal with this. It helps a lot, but I read and have heard from others that I shouldn't wear pantiliners everyday because it can cause infections. I don't wear them at night, but I do when I am wearing any sort of pants or shorts… read more

When diagnosed they took me off BC. I am 33 with no kids and do want them.
But everyone I have talked to they have PUT them on BC for this stuff.

I am so confused and get so many stories, its so stressful.

Any feed back would help.

Thanks

I tend to do this when women around me are pregnant, often before they know or have said anything. My doctor said this was normal a long time ago when a mother may not live through birth.

Its like a stuffy nose, headache, head cold. I feel sick (not nauseous, but like i'm coming down with something), and sooo tired. This happened right before I got my first period on metformin (for like a week). I'm hoping this isn't going to happen every time...

I recently tried to start birth control with my Gyn. She requested an ultrasound because I wanted to avoid hormonal birth control due to preexisting depression and get the Paragard IUD. During the ultrasound, they found that I have multiple cysts on my right ovary, and have a thickened uterine lining(1.2cm, 12mm). I went in to have a follow-up discussion in regards to the ultrasound and she said I have PCOS, the thickened uterine lining is fine because "I'm young" and she sent me with a… read more

This is based on my physical exam and lab results- no ultrasound but it seems pretty obvious now that I have been looking it up (It explains so much!) My doc is just a GP and I want to make sure I come prepared with questions assuming she won't give me full info without prodding.

I've been reading about inositol, and the benefits for women with PCOS or severe Anxiety. I'm wondering who takes inositol and how it has worked or not worked for you. I'm also wondering if you did or didn't talk to your doctors about it first?

How do I know whether I’m tired during the day because of fatigue due to PCOS or because of bad sleeping habits?
