Currently on Cd 13 and ive had 3 periods already??...PCOS

Question

Obviously on Cd 1 i started My AF..is was heavy and lasted 5 days. Then on Cd 9 i had bright red blood every time i wiped that lasted 2 days. Now I'm on CD 13 and same thing happened to me today.

I have PCOS and i am on Metformin 1700 mg. Ive been on that for 4 months. I was on clomid my last 2 cycles and O'd but this cycle i didn't take it.

I did take a HPT and a OPk and it was negative today.

Any idea why this is happening. I have never had abnormal bleeding like this before. My periods were just irregular and sometimes i would have no AF for months.

Could this be because of the metforin. I did call my RE and they didn't seem to concerned with it, but i wanted to know if any of you experienced this??

Answer 1

Yes, one of the symptom of PCOS is abnormal bleeding for prolonged period (it isn't the metformin).  It is hormonal imbalance (progesterone is fluctuating).  If this continues, you will need to take the med provera to induce a full period to reset your cycle.  Ask your doctor about it.  That will hopefully kick-start your cycle back to where it was.

Good luck.
