BC Caused PCOS?
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

I use to have normal regular cycles before BC and during BC. I stopped BC in Nov 2018 and had 3 normal periods and then everything stopped in March. Has anyone experienced anything similar?

I was taking birth control for years then stopped when I started getting acne and hair loss. Had 2 normal periods and my skin cleared up... thought everything was fixed then stopped having periods for 3 months and my hair loss got worse. Went to the dr. And was diagnosed with PCOS. Back on a birth control to regulate my periods and hopefully stimulate my hair growth again.

I stopped BC in Jan and for 5 months my cycles were normal.and it was beautiful. Then all the sudden everything got messed up. I stopped ovulating and I just bleed all the time.
