Abnormal Bleeding !
Hello Everyone!
Has anyone else experienced prolonged bleeding while having PCOS?? I’ve had this “period” since December 2017 and was recently put on birth control to stop the bleeding due to becoming anemic. I’ve had a Pap smear and it came back “normal”. Is there something out there (besides birth control) I can take to stop this issue?
Thank you,
Monica

How Can I Start My Periods Naturally?
I have not had a period since 2013 or 2014 so my doctor gave me until next month (June) to lose weight to jumpstart them or she was going to put me on birth control.. I’m against birth control as i have been on it previously and had really bad side effects to it. However I will also be having another ultrasound due to lack of periods. This is very depressing and stressful noone in my life understand me so its hard to express how i feel.
Try bioidentical hormones. They can be easier to control the dose. That's what I switched to. It's starting to work.

Treatment Options?
I have been seeing my doctor for about a year now. So far, I feel like my treatment plan is not working. I don’t feel like all of my symptoms are being addressed, and I feel like I’m getting the standard ( metformin & birth control) treatment. I don’t feel like my testoerone levels are under control because my acne, body odor, and weight are out of control. I feel sick when I take the metformin & sick when I dont. Over all, I feel like this plan isnt working. What are some other treatment… read more
I would bring up all of these symptoms and lack of working to your current doctor. I have had to do this many times, they see hundreds of people every day we need to be proactive in our seeking… read more
Does Birth Control Really Help?
Does birth control really help regulate periods? I know that it helps regulate the shedding of your lining, but how can it help regulate your ovulation? I've always been confused about this as birth control stops ovulation. If it's not going to help me much I'd like to just get off the pill and try other methods. Any advice or insight would be helpful!!
If you are not ovulating correctly and instead produce follicular cysts like I do, suppressing ovulation with birth control, helps clear up the existing cysts and reduce your chances of getting new… read more

Combination Birth Control Pills Experience
Hi, I'm new here and I would love to hear your own experience with taking birth control to treat the symptoms of PCOS.

What Kind Of Birth Control Should I Ask To Try?
I was diagnosed with PCOS about three years ago, and Ive been seeing an endocrinologist about every three months since. Im 23 and only now going to a gynecologist because it scares me (both the vulnerability of it and the PCOS issues). I have pretty painful periods that I want to try to manage better with birth control, but I dont know what to get. I've been doing research and I like the idea of either an implant or a hormonal IUD, but I wanted to ask for the experience of others with PCOS… read more
