pcos

[lubecki161]

when i was 13 i had periods every 2 weeks so was put on the pill ever since they have been fine, untill about 11 months ago i am now 23 and havent had a normal period in over 11 months, for the past 8 months they have stoppped all together i have been to see 3 doctors who seem to think its normal for a woman not to have periods! So have just ignored it, i have put on a stone and now i have got so fed up i have come off the pill but i have still had a period! I have been looking at PCOS web sites and think that could be a possibility??

PCOS is a pretty complex illness. I was diagnosed in 1981 - it was an easy diagnosis as I was really hairy and tubby.

You would be best going to see your doctor, tell him that you think you have PCOS and he/she will do tests.

If you have you really need to watch your diet. I put on a horrendous amount of weight, and have had severe problems with my blood sugar levels.

There is much that can be done in the form of medication and your doctor will advise you of your options.

Best wishes
