Hiii
I was diagnosed with PCOS around 2 years ago, when I was 17, however my periods had been irregular (every 2-3 months) since I was 14.
My GP prescribed Metformin, but it made me sick, so I was started on Glucophage (slow release Metformin) but it just hasn't worked AT ALL!
I've been back to my Doctor and seen a different GP and he said that because I haven't had a period since last August that I would need to have a period induced by some tablet? And that it was extremely unhealthy to not have at least 3 periods a year, however I'd never been told this before by my normal GP, and last week when I mentioned these so called tablets to him he said he's never heard of such things and that it's VERY unlikely that I will ever have another period.
I might add that this GP knows that I am TTC and it's very clear that he doesn't approve because of my age (even though I'm in a very good relationship and have been for 5 years, and moved in with my now Fiance almost 2 years ago, not that it's any of his business lol!)
Anyway, back to the point, has anyones period stopped for this length of time and then restarted again either naturally or with the help of medication? And has anyone gotten pregnant in a situation like this? Annnnnnd.. has anyone had any of these 'tablets' that induce periods?!
Thanks very much for any advice given
