No Periods
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question šŸ’­

Anyone else NEVER get a period?

I only do when I take Provera.

I have already tried Metformin, Vitex, weight loss, exercise, clean eating. Still have never had a cycle on my own.

I just started taking inositol, so I'll give that a shot for a few months to see if that helps at all. Any other ideas? Is there anything you have been able to do to naturally get a period?

A myPCOSteam Member

Iā€™m the same.,.I havenā€™t had a period in so long and Iā€™m trying to regulate my hormones so I can get one..I know of a YouTuber who had pcos and she didnā€™t have her period for 6 years die to pcos

Has Anyone Ever Been To The Breast Clinic For A Mommogram/breast Screening Before
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question šŸ’­

I had my GP appointment yesterday and because what feels like my lymph nodes around my armpit and breast are swollen. I was also thinking it could be hormonal as i know breast tissue changes often with PCOS, its just iā€™ve never suffered with so many swollen lymph nodes for this long before. I noticed them in January. Feeling a little drained and deflated.

Abnormal Bleeding !
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question šŸ’­

Hello Everyone!

Has anyone else experienced prolonged bleeding while having PCOS?? Iā€™ve had this ā€œperiodā€ since December 2017 and was recently put on birth control to stop the bleeding due to becoming anemic. Iā€™ve had a Pap smear and it came back ā€œnormalā€. Is there something out there (besides birth control) I can take to stop this issue?

Thank you,
Monica

I struggle with my weight so badly.
