always bleeding if not on birth control Posted: 07-10-07 20:32pm
When I am not on birth control I bleed
constantly, even if I skip only one pill.
I want to have children. Do I have any
other options for regulation?

I had the same problem and went to several
doctors before one actually told me I have
PCOS. Currently I'm on three different
meds, one to control my insulin, one to
start my period and one to ovulate. I've
read that many people that have irregular
periods might PCOS. Talk to your doctor
to find out if you do.

If you dont mind me asking what
medications do u take for ovulation? I
have PCOS and take metformin. I used to
bleed for 15-20 days in a row during
menstruation. Thats reduced now to 7-8
days but I still dont ovulate. I am trying
to conceive.

Right now i'm on metformin all month,
Progesterone for 10 days, then Clomid for
5 days. This is my first round of Clomid
though, I believe (depending on the
doctor) each month and each round
increases the dosage. The Progesterone
jump-starts the period then the Clomid is
supposed to help ovulate. Previously I
was just on the Metformin for about 9
months and since I didn't get pregnant I
went back to the doctor and told him I
wanted Clomid. Supposedly for people with
PCOS it's a long (and I think a little
annoying with all the side different
side-effects) process, so best wishes and
good luck.

I think metformin is the drug that some
doctors use for people with PCOS. It
regulates periods and helps ovulation
also. It helped regulate my periods but
did not help me with ovulation.
Combination of metofrmin and clomid helped
me ovulate, but very late into my cycle.
Talk to your doctor to see what he/she
considers appropriate for you. Also, have
long have you been taking clomid? I think
doctors dont like to go over siz cycles of
clomid because of side effects. Good Luck
to you. I am due to go to the doctor next
month to get some blood work done before
he works out an action plan for me on my
ttc process.
i have pcos as well my gyn started me on
metformin for 6 months then ive been on
the injections since then they are called
gonnalf injections.plus im on metfomin.i
do ovulate evey cycle.but its so hard to
get pg.
