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.
in that case im not a doctor im just sharing experiences we are all different we all get different symptoms but i do get freaked out when i dont get my period being on birth control even though that… read more
Does anyone else get cold like symptoms before their period comes? I noticed this the first cycle I had since being on metformin, and I'm wondering if that means this is about to happen again...
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...
Hey Bell.. it's harsh.. I used to bloat like I'm 6 months Preg.. and the fatigue and headaches .. but the pms symtoms have become more manageable recently since taking inosital...hope you feel better… read more
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?
I’ve been taking Ovasital which has helped so much!!! It’s myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol. The research and study group had the best response to the combination and 40:1 ratio this supplement has.

You can drink Alkaline powder (A Vogel make one in South Africa) not sure who would make it where you are.
Reduce caffeine, gluten, dairy and acidic foods in your diet.
my name is heather i am on a estrogen and progesterone based birth control pill i keep reading that its better for health reasons to go off of it but the last time i did that i got a cyst on my uterus so my Dr told me to stay on it and i go in for yearly exams and i am healthy otherwise . what do it do? i still get the cysts but i am also still trying to work out better eating habits being on the Mediterranean diet . but do i stick with what my Dr is telling me ? i am a bit confused?
I am not a medical professional, but my understanding is that the issue with birth control is increased risk of blood clots. Heart/cardiovascular disease run in my family, for that reason, I am at… read more
I have depression along with pcos. I'm on lexepro I had just been increased in my medicine and wondering if this will effect my pcos by making it worse.
I’ve been on and off different antidepressants over the years. I had a similar effect to the previous person when I took zoloft^ I gained ALOT of weight. For me, Prozac works best in not causing any… read more
Hey everyone! I'm slowly but surely trying to replace the endocrine disruptors at my home. They're in some many everyday products that we use. I'm thinking about starting with soap/body wash. Does anyone have any recommendations/alternatives?

Was diagnosed with hypothyroid and PCOS. Periods are not heavy but have lasted for 2 months at a time for the last 3 times. Ultrasound didn't find anything, and Doctor's say my levels are "normal" now after being on thyroid medicine and metformin for 6 months but my period won't regulate. Anyone else have something similar?
Thank you so much! It helps to hear other people have experienced it too!
Thank you @A myPCOSteam Member
I feel like I’ve fallen so far into the PCOS hole that I don’t know how to scratch my way out of it, doctors don’t want to talk to me about it until I lose weight which feels next to impossible. I’ve tried Metformin, It makes me so sick even after 2 months on it and I can’t use birth control Because it’s not safe medically for me so I feel like I’ve just been written off and don’t know where to start and some days I just feel so hopeless and like I’m just stuck like this. I also have doctors… read more
