i am a 25 yr old virgin with regular periods until the age of 23. i have been bleeding continuously for 2 years now..sometimes mild and sometimes heavy. i am 5 ' 3" tall and increased weight from 120 to 140 pounds during these 2 yrs. i tried ayurvedic and homeopathic medicines for regulating my periods but in vain. i thought it was high time and consulted an obgyn and was diagnosed with PCOS after a pelvic ultrasound. i got all the blood tests done. according to the results, I have no thyroid problem, no diabetes, no cholesterol and i am not anemic too. i only have vitamin B12 deficiency and I think my progesterone is low. i don’t have other symptoms of PCOS like excessive hair growth and acne. the obgyn said i am not ovulating and a lot of eggs are getting wasted, which might lead to premature ovarian failure (that is, early menopause due to eggs getting exhausted). and to conserve the eggs, she prescribed the BCP Yaz. she asked me to try them for 2 months to see if they work for me and see her again. i am really concerned about using this pill after reading all the side effects Yaz has caused to so many people. the doctor said that the hormonal problems my body is undergoing right now r far more worse than what the pill could cause to me. i am really against using them and want to try natural ways to stop this bleeding and get back my real periods. i am getting married to my boyfriend soon and would like to STOP this bleeding!! any thoughts on this? please help me. i am really worried and don’t understand what to do.
When my Dr. diagnosed my PCOS, she immediately suggested Glucophage aka Metformin instead of BCP. Metformin is more commonly used for diabetes, but it is also prescribed for PCOS. My Dr. said that if the metformin didn't work, then she would consider BCP...but I told her that I'd rather not take them, as I'm 35 and TTC.
I'm not sure about the herbal remedies, because I haven't discussed this with my Dr.
However, maybe you should mention Metformin to your Dr and see what she has to say about it.
thanks a lot for ur reply. i think Metformin is for insulin resistance right? correct me if i am wrong. the thing is, i am not insulin resistant. perhaps that's the reason my doc didn't put me on Met and gave me Yaz instead.
