Irregular periods, PCOS
I am a 23 year old. I never knew to check on my periods and as I got older around the age 18 my parents started to notice that I did not have periods and asked me to have it checked. I also had excessive facial hair and growing tired of it I decided to get laser hair removal. They lady there asked me to get a checkup and see if I have PCOS. Upon going to the doctor, she informed me that I had PCOS and a high level of testosterone. They also tested me later when I got married at 22 and found out that I do not ovulate. I would like to get pregnant and have regular periods. Please prescribe a medicine which will help regulate them as well as possibly help in increased ovulation, resulting in pregnancy. Thank you.anoor17 on 2009-05-27

Describe your main suffering and from how long?
I notice that I have irregular periods starting at age 18, before that I didnt know about the necessity to have regular menses. This has then be going on for at least 5 years. The periods are usually off in number of days that can vary from 18-36 and skips month. The number of days they last usually stays around 7 but sometimes long upto 10 days. The blood also varies sometimes its a little bit darker and tended towards black and somewhat thick and at other times it is completely red. It usually starts a little more dark and then goes to normal. I used to feel cramps but I dont have them anymore. In 2007 I got married and decided to tell my doctor about this and she tested me and told me that I should take progesterone, which will help regulate my periods. I did take it for 3 month and after that my periods became regular. This was in 2008 january that I started taking that medicine. By july my period was skipped. I again went to the doctor and told her and she said I could take Yaz, a birth control pill, which also helps to regulate periods. I started taking the pill and my periods became regular again. I took it again for 3 month and then stopped using it. Up until last month my periods were regular. Now I am expecting my periods but it has not come. It got skipped last month as well. I also noticed that exercise usually helped to get my period, when I was feeling the pain that it was coming but it wouldnt start, but now I dont even feel the sense that it is going to come. I usually dont drink enough water and I am working on that. My food intake is mostly solid (breads and other such foods), I try to eat vegetables but usually do not eat fruits.

Nowadays, it is normal. I usually do go to the bathroom almost all the time (once a day) but it depends on how much food I eat.
