I will talk to my doctor about this next week but from experience.. is this a good sign or a bad sign?

I was put on BC to help with my PCOS. My last two “periods” were really just spotting. This one has been three days of medium to light bleeding. Has this happened to anyone else of birth control? I take my sugar pill week, usually take them at the same time everyday.

I had to make lunch today, I did not do it right away. Then I just sat down and browsed my phone and I felt like “oh, I can do it” as if it was so easy and I prepared it. Then again, I was lying around not wanting to do anything then I felt that I can go and serve lunch (for family) and I did it. Then I lied down again not wanting to do anything. Its like grumpy-happy cycle or something

I feel like my body is trying to get a period as I feel very strange mood swings and cravings but then nothing happens? Have you guys called the doctor to get that pill to make you get a period? I dont know if this helps with the mood stuff? I just recently got off birth control after 13 years and haven't got a period yet it has been 5 months. Just dont want to feel angry or go into a bad depression which I can be prone too. I know hormonal issues can create these awful feelingsm

Did anyone try taking spironolactone to treat excess hair growth?

I've recently re started metformin and I'm having some difficult side effects. The major one is stomach bloating. When I go to bed at night my stomach is rock hard, painful and I look about 7 months pregnant. I'm eating low GI and given up dairy. It's keeping me up into the early hours of the morning. Has anyone else had this? Does it go away and does anyone know how I might stop manage it.

I was diagnosed with PCOS type A in Jan 2024 but after redoing labs in May, I have no insulin issues. I never have in the past either and I've had labs done consistently over the last couple of years. I have cysts in my ovary (I only have one). We have been trying to get pregnant for 2 years. We got pregnant once (Oct 23) but it was an ectopic. Other than tha5, no pregnancies. I am trying to find out what people with this type are doing. There's limited information available online for treatment… read more

I've been on tri lo sprintec for the past almost year. I've been so unhappy with it. The obgyn wanted me to be able to skip periods and I haven't been able to. It's caused me to have extended periods that are still as heavy as before. Also, the weight gain from water retention has been awful. So I've been looking into the mirena IUD and just wanted to know of any experiences with it, good or bad. I'm concerned how it would affect me having pcos.
