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.

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. I didn’t have periods and had to take meds.
