PCOS

Just found out that I have PCOS!! I always had a feeling that I had it.

Just want to know if anyone else has it. How did you find out you had it??

TIA

Re: PCOS

after almost 12 months of trying I found out that I am borderline PCOS causing my irregular cycles.

did they put you on any meds?

Good Luck

Re: PCOS

No meds. I used to be on the pill.


I have been getting my period pretty reguarly.
So hopefully it will be easy!!!

Re: PCOS

I found out when I went to my gyn, I always knew something was wrong when AF was always not there for months at a time, now i'm on metaformin to help regulate AF.

Re: PCOS

Im on metformin too, this is cycle #4 on the meds so hopefully it will work soon!

Re: PCOS

I found out I had it when I went off BCP and had two normals periods and then nothing. Blood work confirmed it. I'm on metformin now.

Re: PCOS

My periods were always irregular. i was on the pill for many years then got very sick from it.

I was on a high dose of prednisone for seven months(for something else). Now I get regular periods. i am guessing that was what regulated it.

Re: PCOS

Prednisone is a steriod - I'm not sure it is possible to have had any impact in regulating your AF.

If you have PCOS, the bleeding you experience and believe to be your AF, may actually be what is known as annovulatory bleeding...meaning, there is no egg being released from your ovary each month...yet, you still bleed.

I know more than I care to about this subject b/c I too, have PCOS and have experienced bleeding without ovulation. FM me if you have more questions.
