i have been thinking about this. well i know that pcos can cause no periods to extremely long periods. but the first time i started having problems with this was a few years back and i know im probably jumping to conclusions but...

id missed my period for a few months and wondered if i was pregnant. i wasnt when i took the test but it was negative. i did gain weight but i started wondering if maybe it could have been a miscarriage. it was always in my mind somewhere but i dont know for sure bcuz a few months after that it started bleeding bad. i also thought maybe i just got paranoid bcuz i was terrified of pregnancy and i was around 19 when i first had sex and this was the next year that this began. so i wondered if it was the paranoia that was making me worry about it at the time. u know how u think of something in retrospect and u see things u didnt before? like associating it with something that may have just been coincidence but u wonder if maybe it was the cause. but even at the time i wondered if it was a miscarriage but thought it was stress worrying about pregnancy. but i was wondering if a pregnancy can cause this to worsen but i wouldnt see why when pcos is a common cause of missed periods & other strange cycles. it might just be that the PCOS had gotten so outta control by that time and it might have just happened anyway

thanks for any help u guys can offer.

I don't have an answer for you, but I can give you my experience. My diagnosis of PCOS came about after a similar situation. We had been TTC for more than a year. My period stopped. I felt nauseous. I was tired. I was gaining weight. I was sure that I was pregnant. My doctor was sure that I was pregnant. We tested 3 different times. I went 3 months before I had a period, and when I did, it was very heavy and very painful. I had PCOS, and it was out of control at that point.

It could be either one. I would talk to your doctor, but my guess is that your PCOS is out of whack, especially if you are gaining weight. At the beginning of my pregnancy, I felt really bloated, but I wasn't really gaining weight. During the period nearly 2 years ago that I described above, I felt like I could gain weight after breathing.

So what happened to me was I had a eptopic pregnancy and that is when my symptons started. I think that I gained all of the weight because of being upset and then I my symptons that were always there went nuts. So maybe you were stressed and you gained weight cause of that and that is when the symptons went nuts.
