Hi i'm new to the message board. Ok, so
here's a little background. This past
may, I was diagnosed with pcos and I
started bcp in june. In october me and my
bf decided to try to have a baby. My dr
said that I should stop and just see if my
menstrual regulates.So I had my last
period starting on oct 6, lasting for 7
days. I took vitex in the month of nov
and started to spot on dec 10th.
Everyday, it's about the same amount, but

Hi ashley,
well there is no certain age that you have
to be to have pcos. I'm going on 22 and I
was only diagnosed last year but in
hindsight I may have had this since I
started getting my period. From what i've
been told, at your age since you may not
be necessarily ready to have children as
yet, you should have your dr put you on
bcp in order to regulate your periods
after you do all the proper testings. But
my dr also told me that bcp is just
basically a bandaid on the situation
because that doesn't cure you of the
disease. I've been off of bcp since oct
of last year in an attempt to get pregnant
b/c my dr said that that would be a long
journey for me and still no success.
