Members shared their experiences with extended menstrual bleeding related to PCOS, with many describing periods lasting anywhere from two weeks to several months at a time, often with irregular cycles and unpredictable heavy flow. Several members mentioned that birth control pills helped regulate their cycles while they were on them, but the prolonged bleeding returned after stopping the pill, particularly when trying to conceive. A recurring recommendation was myo-inositol supplements available on Amazon, with one member crediting it for ending a near-continuous nine-month period, though another noted the effect wore off after a few months.

I do! Haven't found a solution yet, but you're not alone. Let me know if you find something that works.

Heres the brand i use!! I used to have a period that lasted 9-10 months. Not even joking. I would get maybe a one week break. So i know exactly what its like. This started having an effect within one day of taking! I take one a day. Everyone’s body is different so listen to yours if something feels odd with the supplements!

I would be that way once in a while. It would stop and I would not have a period for 1 to 6 months with nothing and then I would have it for a 52 day period. Not fun. The gyn would put me on birth control, it that never really worked either.
