I had been put on low dose birth control several years ago and it regulated and gave me a period. Previous to that I went from none to non-stop spotting [just enough to be annoying] and perpetual PMS! I thought I was perimenopausal, but they say my hormone levels [for that anyways] were normal. I'd had polyps removed and then kind of went to almost nothing but while on the pill, I was regular.
In 2004 when I was admitted for chest pains they took me off the pill and it did effect my cycle but not to this extent. I was still having something more recently my cycle got squirrelier. It's been in the past several months that I'm not sure when my last cycle has been.
One of the worst things about the PCOD is it makes it difficult to lose weight [explains why I've always had a weight problem, I've always had period problems as well] and being overweight makes the PCOD worse.. What a catch22! I hate the facial hair and my hair on my head has been falling out for years. Men think it's devastating to lose their hair [personally I think MOST bald/ing men are pretty sexy] a bald woman on the other hand isn't. Hot flashes and night sweats suck too.
Good luck, and if I go too much longer I guess I'll break down and buy a preggers test, but I really don't think that's it. I have gained back about 10 -15 pounds over the winter [not happy about that especially since I've been training so hard] Come on Spring so I can actually get outside and ride more to get the scales moving in the right direction again too. Ain't it wonderful being a woman...![]()
