Cycle issues, completely confused (maybe some TMI)

Hello ladies

Im 23 and was diagnosed with pcos at 19 I think. Even though my cycles have pretty much always been irregular since the beginning.

I had my son a year ago in april..and before I got pregnant my cycles were pretty irregular as usual.. then after I had my son , I had no period for 6 months. .. then starting this past feb on & off ive been bleeding. Just never seems to stop. I havent really been paying attention to it much until this month.. I dont think I went much days this month without bleeding... atm (sorry for TMI) im on the 6th day (i already had a period this month too) and its getting heavier instead of lighter and more cramping today (in the past, my usual cycles are about 5 days long and pain is over by 2 or 3rd day)
(oh and by the way.. its heavy enough to have to wear regular tampons most the time, and somtimes super.)

Im so confused cause ive never had this happen before , just seems like im bleeding most the time now... is this related to pcos at all? anyone else experience this, or any ideas what it could be? ... I just didnt want to go to the doctors yet because i wasnt keeping track like i should have been til this month.. so was maybe going to wait another month or so.

Any advice would be appreciated, and thank you

Go to the DrI had a period for 51 days and he said its just because when I didnt ovulate id just be shedding. he gave me provera to induce a period then clomid...then femara to induce ovulation and so far after ive ovulated I had 2 normal periods. GL!

Really was hoping I could avoid pills , but maybe I have no choice lol.. but this IS pcos related?

I dont know, but I could guess yet. many PCOSers have the same things happen. Just go and see the Dr and get your uterus cleane dout for good-provera is easy and it really acts like a chemical d and c-completely cleans you out. You want to be cleaned out-the longer it builds up and doesnt go away can lead to abnormal cells and even uterine cancer way down the line ( like years). So its best to always see the DR.
