I think you should talk to a doctor about not having a period for seven years. THey could run some test and find out for sure if you have PCOS. There are treatments options. I have PCOS and endometriosis. I was able to get pregnant 4 times. I miscarried twice and two successful pregnancies.

You need to find a doctor that takes PCOS more seriously. No period for 7 years is not healthy at all - you need to get on provera stat to force you to have a period.

Chances are you aren't ovulating, but its not the end of the world. There are many drugs that work great to help women with PCOS ovulate. You still have eggs in your ovaries (even with PCOS) you're hormones are just so out of whack that they never tell your body to actually ovulate. So you've probably got a great egg reserve, it's just getting them to come out of the ovary (ovulation) that is the problem.

And yes, you can have babies even with PCOS. I have PCOS and am currently pregnant with twins with the help of fertility drugs.

well it's really difficult because I don't have health insurance. I stopped going to the dr 4 years ago when my insurance ran out.
I guess it's nice to know that people with pcos have babies.

From what i have seen with my close friends with PCOS and Endometriosis, periods still can come without ovulation and in full force. I know of a couple of women who don't have periods unless it's medically forced, I find this all interesting and deffinately something you should look into.

As Kristen said, many drugs are avaliable now to help with PCOS and having children.

When you can, probably sooner rather then later, purely for your own health and peace of mind, you should see a doctor,
all the best! :)

When I went to the doctor for the first time at 16, they thought it was endometriosis. they put me on some medicine that made me start my period, and it made me so sick. I vomited and had a high fever and chills and my period was so heavy, I told them I felt like I was miscarrying triplets.

After that, my periods came every few months for a day or so, then eventually stopped altogether.

So I went back to the doctor. They ran cat scans. They made me drink this disgusting liquid called barium sulfate that looked like milk and tasted like water down orange juice.

those were clean. they gave me a glucose test (and diagnosed me with insulin resistance)

They ran another xray of my ovaries. Clean. They've tested all my hormones several times over the years. It's normal, "but on the high side of normal"

My thyroid levels are "high, but normal"
My testosterone levels are "high, but normal."

Quote my doctor, "You have every single symptom of PCOS, but all tests are clear."

I also have acanthosis nigricans. which is blackening of the skin.

I'm currently on metformin and atenelol.

I did have a period my very first day of college, but I think I had that because I was so absolutely terrified.

Then I've had light periods a few times a year since then (3 years ago) They usually start that morning and by the end of the day, they are done.

Your body produces eggs. You can have babies. Has your doctor put on birth control pills so you will have a monthly period. Kristen is right you need to get on provera to force a period. When you do get insurance or you get approved for clinic services ask for a transvaginal ultrasound. That will show if you have cysts on your ovaries. When you decide you want to have a baby your doctor will have you come in for a day 3 test which is a test for your FSH levels and LH levels. The FSH is to see the quality of your eggs. Chances are you gynecologist will start you on clomid.

I went through fertility treatment and still am. I had one pregnancy but miscarried about 3 months ago. I'm trying to be hopeful that I will achieve pregnancy again.

Best of luck to you.
