I only have periods if I'm on BC or I take Provera. Otherwise nothing. I'm on round two of Clomid. Round one was anovulatory. Ugh. I'm feeling different this time around though so I'm really hoping I ovulate. FX! PCOS sucks.
PCOS and BC
Just curious how many ladies with PCOS take birth control. I've taken it in the past, it never regulated AF and almost never get one on my own and I don't ovulate.
My OB/GYN suggested Mirena but my endo said there's no reason for it.
I just finished my first round of Clomid so we will see what happens but if I want to have a regular AF I'm going to have to keep taking progesterone :/
Wondering what works for everyone else...

Birth control did work for me, but over the years I developed symptoms I'd never had before, like PMS, and terrible food cravings and mood swings. I never experienced those before I started the pill. Other than that, they did get rid of the cysts (at least temporarily - I get them back when I'm under a lot of stress)
Oh forgot to add. Vitex works WITH your body. It's a herb, and isn't hormonal. It's really helped me so much that I've stopped taking Metformin :)

I have PCOS and am bc. I have a cyst on my right ovary and that's why my dr put me on bc, to help shrink it. I am taking microgestin. I have an appointment with her again in November to see if the pills helped shrink it. But I haven't had a period yet while I've been on bc and have met had one since July.

But I do agree, PCOS does suck. My bf and I have been TTC for three months with no results so far.
