Default Help!

I've decided to take all of your advice about stopping the ortho tricyclen Lo. I haven't taken it in about 3 or 4 days and noticed that I am bleeding lightly. Is this normal?

What should I expect?

Yes, that's pretty much normal. Your hormones are in disarray right now because you've just stopped the artificial ones and your body is trying to sort itself out. Add PCOS on top of that and there's an all-out war going on in there! LOL Even women without PCOS often have problems coming off the pill.

It's not unusual at all for the first 3-4 cycles to be really screwed up after stopping BCP. Just hang in there, after a while your body will settle down into a normal (for you anyway) cycle.

Congrats, Shanah. Rather than just masking your PCOS troubles, you are choosing to let your body cycling on it's own. I think that's the most important goal we can have as women. It may get worse hormonally before it gets better, but you're giving yourself a gift. Give yourself about 3 months or so to see AF on Met, and know that it takes some time to turn into a 32 day cycler.

Your body definetly needs time to sort out up from down hormonally. It may seem frustrating that your body can't sort itself out right away, but don't give up. I waited over a year for real results on Met, and now after 2 years, my body is finally hormonally normal.

Do what you can to normalize your insulin, testosterone, androgens etc by keeping up with your exercise and moderating your carbs...those things will help the Met.

Good luck.
