Answer:
I don't have PCOS but I was misdiagnosed with it once. I had a REALLY longggggg period. It was 23 days. Inbetween it would stop for a day and spot for a few more and then more blood. The way you describe the break in time of your cycles reminded me of that.
PCOS runs in my family. I didn't even know such a thing was "genetic". My cousin had surgery for hers recently. They "kill" the part of your ovary that's making too much hormones. The procedure's been working ok for her thus far.
You're 26, I don't know if you want to have kids or anything like that but get it treated ASAP. My cousin is 25 and her OB told her is she had waited a while to treated it, she may have been infertile. But time will tell.
Good Luck! Speak to your OB about your options for treatment!
Um, Just don't worry. Maybe your just having one Long period!
shouldn't you be speaking to your doctor or nurse about this?
i dont know the meaning of the diagnosis but, my period used to be off the wall like that. at the time i was 15 so my mothere had me put on the birth control pill. It really regulated my cycles and i havent had that problem since.
You need to let your GYN know this is happening. Allowing it to continue will cause anemia due to the lose of iron. There are ways it can be regulated. Discuss your ooptions with your doctor.
Honey, join the THOUSANDS of us who have PCOS.
Your hormones are out of whack. That is what causes the PCOS. Getting on birth control pills helps regulate your cycle. There is also surgery called ovarian drilling that might help. I had it done June 22. Basically, they drill holes into your ovaries and kill the parts that produce the excess hormones with an electric current.
Get it treated now. I wish I would've been treated earlier...we're struggling with infertility issues.
You should discuss your problems with your ob/gyn and/or endocrinologist.
Definitely something wrong with u see a doctor.
you know what i had this in my younger days .I went to all kinds of specialist till my ex SIL carried me to one and I really didn't want to go but said oh what the H.Well we got there he sat me down and I told him that I had a period more than average I was bleeding like 20 some days out of the month.He took one look at me and said are you on Birth control and I said yes they keep changing it to this and that trying to get it right .Well he said stop taking it and your period will go back to normal and that some women aren't meant to take birth control pills .I stopped and sure enough the heavy periods stopped as well.So I don't know if your on BC or not but if you are take my advice some of us women weren't meant to take them so stop and go to natural family planning I did that for 9 years and it worked like a charm.
