so I have all of the above! It is ok for me to allow my body to continue to spot like this, or should I get to the OB or the natural remedy sooner rather than later? My son took me 10 months to conceive naturally, and I did not know I had PCOS at the time. I did however, have a history of cysts prior and my thyroid issue was known. With my daughter, I actually had gone about 45 days between cycles, or about 2 months at most, so I took provera at that time. I actually saw a different OB in my field that specialized in fertily, and he put me on metformin, I resopnded well to that, and within one month of ebing on it, my period returned and I got pregnant! I am so blessed and thankful! Is metformin successful in resuming a period? maybe I can go on that route again? I tolerated it well, and I would imagine I am IR PCOS since I was gestational with both my babies...View Thread





I am 33 yrs old and had my second baby 9 months ago. I was partially BF for 4 months, but received a full period after 2 months post baby, then again aout 45 days later. Aug was the last time I had an actual period. I saw my OB beg of Dec for my annual, my pap was normal, and so was my exam. She wanted me to take provera to bring on my period, then start BC since I have PCOS, and have not had a period. I had taken provera right before I got pregnant, actually 2x before, and I don't feel comfortable taking it a 3rd time, since it is synthetic.
Sortly after my appt, prob a week later, I felt like I was starting my period. My bleeding was light as if it was starting, but red. then it tappered off, but I continued spotting every day going on three weeks now. Sometimes it can stain a pad lightly, other times with a bowel movement it can be a heavier wipe of blood. I am due to get my bloodwork done for my thyroid levels, and cbc/diabetes (since I was gestational)> does this sound common for PCOS since I have not had a period 4 months, that this spotting can last so long? Could it be due to my hormones being off from my thyroid levels?
Thank yoU!View Thread

My last question to you, the fibrocystic breast disease, I did see that online. I was reading that as lumps that move around, is that correct? The area I feel does not move. I do feel similiar "lumps" in other parts of my breasts, more at the surface. This one is more deep in a few inches directly above my areola. Is there ducts there? Or tissue that can feel this way in that area. Whenever I feel something on one side, I check the other and don't get nervous when they feel similiar, however this one is only on the right side in this area. I may also like to add that I did have a breast reduction in 2001. My areola's were placed up and an incision below straight down.View Thread
