Hi there,

I was diagnoed with PCOS when I was 17. Although very slim at the time (and still are) AF just failed to ever show up. I was promptly put on the pill by my gyno which basically just masked the problem and AF arrived one month later. There was no need to do anything else as I was not TTC at 17 (thankfully!)

Now that we are TTC I went off the pill and my first AF arrived on CD32 which was great. However I have not had one since then! I'm currently on CD45 with no signs on impending arrival. My GP has sent me for three blood tests which all showed I have failed to ovulate (done on CD21, CD28, CD35) but my ultrasound showed my ovaries were not classed as polycystic. Also, my sister has been diagnosed with PCOS about 2 months ago as I encouraged her to get it checked out becuase of my past history.

Do you think its possible the pill only takes care of the PCOS for the time being? Could it be that now that I'm off the pill the PCOS could slowly return?
