What Causes Irregular Periods, Acne And Anxiety Attacks Post Birth Control Withdrawal?
Hello, Ive been off the birth control pill for a year now and my cycles have been 38 days long and now I haven t had a period for 59 days. I m also experiencing major acne especially along jawline and severe anxiety and depression. I have taken multiple pregnancy tests and been to a free clinic to get tested and I am not pregnant. I want to be tested for PCOS, But some part of me thinks this isn t the case. I m not overweight. I have always had thinner hair and not too much extra male pattern hair growth. What could be wrong?

Hello,
Welcome to hcm,
Your symptoms shows there could be some hormonal imbalance, as you are having irregular periods I advise you to get ultrasound done and hormonal assay which includes progesterone, testosterone,FSH and LH and prolactin. Not all pcos patient are obese,so better get the above investigations done.
Thank you
