Help! Period affecting relationship 🤦♀️
I was diagnosed with pcos about 10 years ago. When I was first diagnosed, I was put on BC to regulate my cycle. I stopped BC to TTC and had a baby last year. Then breastfed until June of this year and waited for my period to return. Started bleeding a month and a half ago. It weird because some days its very light, other days heavy. Some days its starts light and gets heavy. There is no consistency to the flow. I know this can happen with PCOS but I went to my doctor anyways because I wanted to make sure everything was OK and see if we could do something to stop the bleeding or regulate my cycle again without going on BC. She basically told me that irregular bleeding happens with PCOS and did a STD test which came back negative (as expected). Didn't do anything to help me with the bleeding since I dont want to go on BC. There has to be some other way to regulate your cycle without BC, isn't there? I feel like I was just brushed off. This is really starting to interfere with my relationship too because we don't have sex on my period. My husband understands my situation, but the sexual frustration is still building up. I was already struggling to regain a sex drive after the baby, so the frequency wasn't that great to begin with. Now that its stopped completely, we are starting to feel more like roommates than a couple I guess.
