Irregular periods and pregnancy
Posted , 3 users are following.
I came off the pill over two years ago now, before I went on the pill I had normal periods but since coming off my periods are coming every other month, my average menstrual cycle being 55days, my doctor thought I might have PCOS but the only symptom I have is difficulty in loosing weight, I really want to start trying for a baby but this problem is starting I get me down, my doctor has told me that they can't begin help until I loose weight, but I have a lot of problems loosin weight I have very stomach problems which is suspected IBS I'm still currently doing elimination process of what makes me ill and what don't, and on top of that I get daily headaches. Is there anyone that has gone through something like this that could help me? I'm worried I won't be able to get pregnant and it's starting to effect me emotionally

It is best to wait before trying for a baby if you do have PCOS, because your risk of miscarriage will be very high. You are often advised to go on metformin when you are pregnant because it lowers the risk.
Are you on any medications at the moment or herbal supplements?

I will book an appointment with my doctor and ask to have my hormones tested, hopefully they will agree.
I'm not on any medication, the only things I have is turmeric and milk thistle capsules as they help my stomach better then the medication the doctor gave me originally. Is there any you recommend?

Thank you, that's really helpful, I'm going to stock up on my vitamins. I hope I can get this sorted as it's really becoming a stress on my mind which then adds to the whole thing!
