Constant Bloody Discharge

I am 25 and have polycystic ovarian syndrome. I have only gotten about 3 periods in my life on my own, any other time I've gotten it was from birth control that was prescribed to me to make me get my period. I have never consistently taken the birth control. I've always taken it for a few months, then stopped. I started YAZ about 6 months ago and only lasted about 2 months on it before quitting (my face broke out, i hated the way it made me feel,etc). At my most recent Gynecology visit about 3 months ago, I told my gynecologist that I had quit taking the YAZ. She was upset and said expressed how important it is for me to have a period each month. She prescribed to another birth control to try out to see if I respond to better. She told me to at least stick with it for 3 months and if I do decide to stop taking it, to call her and let her know so we can figure out another option. It has been 3 months now and I have never even turned in my prescription or started taking the new birth control. For the last month, I have had vaginal blood spotting. It never gets on my underwear. I only see it on the toilet paper when I wipe myself. The first two weeks were very red blood, it stopped for a few days, then I would see brown blood on the toilet paper for a few days after that. It stopped again for a few days, and now I am seeing red blood again when I wipe myself. I have no pain. What could this be and should I be concerned?! (I am nervous to go to my gynecologist because will be very upset that I did not follow through with the second birth control she prescribed to me when she specifically told me how important it was to try it for at least 3 months. I am worried about being dropped as a patient)

Please help!

As far as i know, PCOS can cause dysfunctional bleeding, that is bleeding at abnormal times, at abnormal intervals and in abnormal quantities. PCOS patients are given Clomiphine tablets. There is also association of PCOS, to diabetes and some patients respond to antidiabetic drugs!!!

But of course your doctor can tell u the best and whatever the case u must see her.

best of luck.
