PCOS and Birth Control: Missed Periods

I have PCOS and I don't have a period at all. As long as you are getting the hormones, it's okay to not have a period. As long as you know that your body is capable of it.

I stopped taking birth control about 3 months ago. But I was on it from ages 18 to 30 and my period literally wouldn't start until day 7, the final day of the inactive pill every single time.

Your body needs to get used to not being on pill!! The gaps between taking pills are not periods but withdrawal symptoms!! I was on pills for 10 years!! Been off it now for 3 as it gave me bad headaches and then got diagnosed with idiopathic intracranial hypertension!! One of the risks they dont tell u about in the leaflets!! I cant go bk on it now due to headaches and eyesight!! Xx

I would follow the usual routine and book in with a GP to dicuss your concerns. You have said you have irregular periods so maybe this time your withdrawal bleed is just that, irregular. If you're older now it might also be worth exploring coming off the pill to see how your body is naturally? I had irregular periods in my teen years but now in my early twenties and off the pill they are settled and regular (just super heavy, thanks pcos 🫠). But of course that might be something you never want to do and that is fine! But just consider speaking to your GP to make sure this is still the best option for you right now and that having no bleed this month is of no concern ❤️
