hi all. i am 19 and was diagnosed with pcos many years ago after having extremely irregular, heavy, and painful periods that as i look back on it could have definitely met the qualifications of a disability.

anyways, because i am not actively trying to conceive and am very young yet, most doctors won’t do anything for me. they simply try to put me on the pill (which made things worse before). i’m just wondering if there is literally anything else i can do to help normalize my cycles?? i’d love to have kids one day but right now i need to focus on being healthy and i’m not. not to mention the irregularity and how heavy my flow is can keep me home for days as sometimes i’ll bleed thru literally every single product i try to use

i’ll take any recommendations. otc meds that helped, holistic approaches, teas, ANYTHING!!
