What's the next step?
I was diagnosed with PCOS over seven years ago. I've been taking Provera to induced my cycles for over a year now. They've been coming faithfully but a couple of months ago, it became very light and last month it didn't show up at all. I just finished taking my pills for this month and am anticipating my cycle. What does it mean if I don't have a cycle this month. This concerns me because I do want to have another child within the nex couple of years.
I was diagnosed with PCOS over seven years ago. I have seen and spoken with my gyn, he explained that the increase in insulin resistance caused the change in my cycles. He has adjusted my metformin and said to restart the Provera in a month. He'll recheck my blood work in four months. I've taken an initiative lose weight in the mean time.

Hello,
In PCOS, the cycles become light and irregular. Poly cystic ovarian syndrome can be treated in different ways. One of the most effective treatments is use of contraceptive pills or progesterone pills. It can also be treated surgically and this procedure is known as drilling. Try losing weight as it helps a lot to normalize menstruation. Try conceiving between 8-21 days of your cycle as it is fertile period. You may also try a pelvic laparoscopy to treat anovualtion if you don`t ovulate.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
