Aleve works for me and I'm already on BC. Maybe you should talk to your OBGYN about the Nuva Ring or other contraception options. My period used to be irregular, now they're under control. I hope you get this working for you. Let me know your progress.

Hey AnnaLea! Right now I am on Medroxyprogesterone. I barely got my period and when they diagnosed me with PCOS she immediately wrote me a prescription. I didn't want to be on BC so I got that. I take it 2 times a day for 5 days a month. I hate being on medication but it works perfect. You are supposed to take it at the same days/times every month and I get a normal period when I take it. Good luck!

Much love,
Crystal

I was on BC, but they had to put me on a very low dose just because I would get so nauseous from being on it, I mean, I would have to gorge on food just to take it otherwise I'd feel sick and my stomach would cramp.

Thank you for all of your input :) I have tired so many BC's they had me on the lowest dose and my body could not handle it at all! I had to go in the ER one time because of it and I was in the hospital for three days! The doctor told me depending on the results he wants me to try something called, Metformin have any of you tried that? If so what side affects did you have?

So happy for you that you are getting your period! That is great news. Don't be nervous or scared, you are already dealing with the symptoms of PCOS, the test will just give you results and information for the doctor.
I know what you mean about some people thinking that PCOS is not a big deal. I was like that until I really started to have bad symptoms. I wish that I would have taken it more serious when I first found out so that I could have done something about it from the beginning.
I am like you in that BC and me don't get along. I am on it right now just because it was the agreement that I made with my doctor and it was the only way that I could get my period started after 5 and a half years of no period. I can't wait till the end of the year when I can go off of it again.
I am not a huge fan of medications so I decided to treat my PCOS naturally, with diet, exercise and supplements. The supplements that I am taking are a multi-vitamin, B complex, fish oil, magnesium and PCOS supplements from Insulite Labs. I have been taking this combination for the past year and it has been making a big difference. Message me if you would like to know more about the supplements that I am all taking.

Thank you for your help! I agree with you on meds, I hate taking them but all I can think about right now is getting rid of my symptoms that I am having. WIth taking a more natural way has it helped with your symptoms? No period for five years?! That is crazy! Have you been getting them now you are trying something new? I am worried about my period, I thought I started but now its nothing, its just a little blood. My periods haven't been normal lately. The doctor told me to take the test 3 days into my cycle, I am wanting to go in on Tuesday since I thought I started today, would that be good enough or should I wait to see what happens?

I am on Ayurvedic Medicines and after years of so much suffer, I finally have some relief on some of the affects of PCOS, all due to God, many prays, husband and these medicines.
