Body wont have a menstral period with out medicine?
I started my period young and had one ever so often thru 6th grade thru highschool. WHen I was a freshman in HS I was put on BC pills because of the horrible heavy periods and ahwful cramping and ovarian cysts. The BC pills heled with the periods but made me ahwfuly moody they tried the patch and a few pills to try and fix the issue, my mom hated it and i hated being so moody so when I was a senior in HS I decided to see what would come of not being on the pill anymore. I felt better not so moody but my periods were whacky again and just wouldnt come…. SO…i went back on BC pills orthro tri cyc lo and was on it for a few years…and my 1rst year in college i had to have a leap of my cervix because of abrnormal cells, and was very upsetting. I met my long time b.f that year and a year later I became pregnant some how while i was still on BC pills. I had a very hard pregnancy with blood pressure and border line diabetic with severe weight gain. Didnt really know my due date one was 11/17 and the second was 12/22..because we never saw the same doctor when we went in. But on 12/6 i went in for my appt and the doctors informed me that my placenta stoped nurturing the baby so i needed to go in and have my son right now. THey sent me to the hospital and started me on the meds for contractions and eventually aften many hours i was dialated and ready to push…pushed for a very long time. And didnt get very far after so much time. The doc came in and was like did anyone see this blood? I was bleeding down the side of the bed from some where and then they decided i needed a csection asap and they rolled me in to have it done. (ahwful exp. but everyone was ok but my son when he was 15mo. old was diagnoed with mild CerebralPalsy not beinable walk &swallowing problems) But now my son is 3 year old &i have had on going spikes of fever/ches and pains and horrible skin. I recently went to see my gyno doc and was put on BC pills due to not having a period in a year? HELP any ideas?

There are several medical issues that can cause irregular periods. Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome can cause irregular periods due to an increased level of testosterone, for example. It is often regulated with BC.
If you are having pain or other issues you have not experienced before, make sure your doctor is aware. Be a demanding patient if you have to, and make sure they understand the full range of issues you feel you are experiencing. If you have been given a diagnosis, make sure you are aware of what it is and what it means. If your doctor does not give you adequate information, take the diagnosis and go on line, or consider going to a new doctor who is more respectful and patient (not all doctors are equal).
The US Department of Health and Human Services has a good website for learning more about specific women’s health issues. You might look at that as a starting point for personal education.
I didn’t have periods and had to take meds. Luckily, my body fixed itself after pregnancy.
You should go see a specialist, a Reproductive Endocrinologist (RE). They are much more informed on PCOS, which sounds like you might have. I spent a year trying to get pregnant with my ob/gyn, and 1 month after going to the RE, I was pregnant. He did a ton of tests, more than my ob/gyn every did, and within a week he diagnosed my problems and put me on appropriate meds.
