Hi!
If you were my patient, the next thing I would try is Metformin. I would be very careful to explain to you that there are some side effects with this medication, such as gassiness, bloating and diarrhea. I would also start you at a low dosage and build up as tolerated.
Another option would be to use natural progesterone monthly to induce your period.
This helps to give you a cycle, but doesn't treat the underlying disorder.
Low Iron usually responds to supplemental iron, so, the first thing I would try is a good multivitamin with iron. That would also provided vitamin C and folate and B 12.
Yaz is a good birth control pill for PCOS, if you are interested in contraception too.
Good luck!

Me and my husband have beeen married for 5 years. We have been trying for 3 years still no luck. My doctor priscribed me metformin 3 times daily 1500mg and clomid. Although, i never took it properly. This year i promised myself that i will start taking my pills regulary. Ever since Jan i have taking it regulary. My periods won't stop. They were continuous for a whole month. Stopped for a week and now i am back on my periods. I have really bad back cramps. My periods are very heavy. Please tell me what i can do about this.
Thanks,

Hi,
I am just throwing this out to you but have your doctors ever tested you for Celiac. I have had atypical medical issues all my life, polycystic ovaries as one of them and I know a gluten allergy can cause anemia and vitamin deficiencies....just something to check out. Good luck to you.
