Period length on PCOS Posted: 01-10-08 10:50am
Hello ladies! I know a few of you have
pcos and I was hoping that someone would
be able to help me out.
How long does your period normally last?
Everything I've found online says that it
is normally very long and painful. I
haven't had my period since 8-28. So, it's
been a while. But, I do get a spot (maybe
two) once every 5-6 weeks. I was starting
to wonder if that is actually my period? I
know, obviously that isn't 'normal' but
nothing about me is right now.
Thanks for the help! I have an appt Mon
for results/scripts, so I'll ask then, but
I was just wondering if anyone had some
first hand experience.

Well, I did like you for a a while. I
would spot for a day or so and that would
be it. I used to be the exact opposite
before I started bc though. I was a very
heavy bleeder and went for about 7 days. I
would get so bad that I would be unable to
go to work or school. The pain was just
excruciating. It all changed after going
off bc though. Don't ask me why because I
have no idea and neither does anyone else.

Since I was a teenager my cycle length has
been right about 35 days, but can go as
long as 45. My actual period lasts
exactly 7 days, every month, and I get
really bad cramps every other month.
Like, on the floor, crying cramps.
IT probably is you period, or when you
should be having it anyways.
WIsh I could be more help. Good luck on
Monday, and keep us updated.

That is exactly how mine were before birth
control. Even on birth control it was
still 5-6 days long. And when I went off,
it was like that for the first 3 months.
Now, nothing. Lol, I'm just not sure if it
should 'count' or not.
