i have been diagnosed with polycistic ovaries and hadnt had a period for 4 years so the doc put me on the pill now i am having my first period but the problem is i've now been bleeding for 13 days and its really heavy, so heavy that i have to change my tampon every 20 mins. i saw my doc today and she said to come back in the morning for a swob. i dont know wot to do coz i am going on holiday for 2 and half weeks on saturday and cant really go if i am bleeding this heavy. what could be causing this and is there anything i or the doc can do to stop my period?

Not sure why your bleeding. But the doctor can give you tablets to spot the bleeding. My daughter needed swabs done an she was bleeding. The doctor gave her some so the swabs could be done.

My daughter got different symptoms than you. She has a lot of water infections an kidney problems. But i know the doctor can stop you bleeding for your hols.
The tablets were called norethisterone.
She not got results yet.
She went for swobs 10 days ago. Think ill make sure she rings tomorrow

Iv got polystic ovaries. Had it for 5 years that i know.

At the time i found out i didnt have a partner. But the doctor put me on the pill, because it ups your hormone levels. An PCOS lowers it. This helped, But now all my syptoms have slowly come back over the last 12months. Iv been back to check on my overies. They arnt any worse but now i have fibroids on my womb. They are pressing on my bladder causing the pain. One look funny so the doctor has refered me to see a gyni (not been yet). She thinks it might be a polup. That will need taking away.
The problem i have now is, im 40 an my doctor wont let me have the pill anymore. She wants me to have the new coil. Marina Iv read on this site how people have had alot of problems with it... Weight gain, painfully intercause. male partner feeling it. not knowing if pregnant.
Iv gained weight cos of PCOS an i cant lose it.

Im also on a very low dose antidepressant cos of how al the symptoms have made me feel.
I do have a parnter now so need birth control.
Thinking or asking to be sterilised.
But i wil need some sort of hormone replacement. HRT has its side affects an you cant take too long.
Do you take anything?
Nice to take to you :-D

i used to be a size 8 and had never had a weight problem till now i went up to 20 stone and 6lb and now weigh 18 stone and 12lb. i am looking in to havin a gastric band fitted as i cant seem to lose any more weight. i have had severe mental health problems for 6 years now but am now alot better and am off most of the medication. but since having this awful period i have been extremely stressed. i went to docs this morning and gave me the tablets that u told me about problem is i can only take it for 10 days then will have another period which will be while i'm on holiday, she said i need a blood test which will be thursday morning. and if the bleeding does not stop then i need a scan. she did not do the swob because i am bleeding to much and said all a swob will confirm is if i have an infection or sti but as i havnt been sexualy active in 5 years that wont be necersary. to be honest i would rather have a histerectomy as i dont plan on having any more children. cheers hun jolene x

Gosh you poor thing. I havnt put on that much weight. But while we have hormone probs we cant lose it. Someone else told me that antidepresants put on weight too as they slow down your matabolism.
My probs started 5 years ago like i said. This was the sametime i lost my mum and my marriage ended.
I often wonder if PCOS is brought on with stress.
I did wonder how the doctor was going to do swabs when you were bleeding. Glad she gave you some tabs. At least you can have a few days rest. You must be tied losing so much.
Thats not going to help your holiday tho. Can she give you more after a few days break?
My daughter did start bleeding when she stopped taking tabs an it was only for 1 day, but she wasnt bleeding as much as you are. xxx

the worst tablets for making you gain weight are anti phsycotics but anti deprssents can do the same they make you crave carbohidrates. my periods stopped when they put me on risperidone coz it increases a hormone and it also made me produce milk, that is why i never got checked out till recently coz when i stopped taking it my periods didnt return and i kept getting loads of spots. so i dont realy know how long i have had pcos. and i am even more pissed off now coz when i went docs some one stole my mobile. i really aint avin much luck. if the docs dont let me ave a historectomy i am considering going private even though it gona cost me an arm and a leg. cheers hun jxxx
