Stressed out about period...loss of it after regularity.

I'm freaking out right now!!!!!!!!!!
When I was first diagnosed with PCOS, I had my period regularly for one year...and then lost it for about 5 years. After losing about 60-70 lbs, my period came back, and I was very regular for about a year and a half. Now I seem to have lost it. Ever since I stopped taking birth control, it has been irregular, coming at odd times throughout the month. The last three months, it has been 3 days late...then 1 week late...and now, it's over a week late...so I think I am losing it again. I took 2 pregnancy tests and they both came out negative. I'm not sure what to think, or what to do. I have gained a lot of weight back since I came off of the pill. Maybe that has something to do with it?
Has anyone else gone through this? Is this normal?
I don't want my lady parts anymore.

Weight gain or loss can definitely affect your period! A few years back, I lost almost 40lbs and my period was very regular after that time. Unfortunately, I gained some of the weight back and my periods became irregular once again. I would give your doctor a call, but if you've gained weight back, that is probably why your periods are irregular again.
