Hey there,
I've been lurking on this board for 2 weeks now and I have decided to join.
I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 14 and I never really thought anything of it. I didn't understand what that meant or anything.
I am now 23 and my body is giving me hell. I have never had a regular period, infact, i havent hd one in about a year or so. Being very worried about this I went to my GP to ask for some help. He arranged for a scan coming up on 20th, and he put me on Dianette. I am overweight and what I have read on the internet is that over weight women produce more estrogen than an average women because of the fat cells. Bless my doctor, I had asked him to help me get my periods on track, so he put me on this pill. The 28 days on the pill was fantasic, my skin improved, my sideburns started to disappear, great. So 10 days ago I started the bleeding process. On Wednesday I began the 2nd pack, I rang doctor up to make sure it was okay to start even if i was still very heavyily bleeding. OK.
So today, my bedsheets are covered in blood, so is my body, very unnerving and im having dreams about baby fetous's and agony. The clots are getting bigger, I can feel my womb squeezing and my hips and legs are sore. I went to see a female doctor today and she said I should immediatly come off the Dainette. She me has also presribed to me, another drug to help with the bleeding.
All I want is to have a sorta of regular cycle so i can have children. Ive heard that metformin is good. Anyone have issues with it.
