Question: I have PCOS it doesn't bother me besides no period. I've been told I NEED to have a period because it helps clear out the lining and it just is important for women with PCOS to menstrate. I have only had one period since may 2016. 9 months of that I was pregnant. Baby girl born February 2017 and the period I had was Sept 2017 due to having taken progesterone. They prescribed me two kinds of birth control pills to help regulate my cycle. Lo loestrin and jolivette. I have not had a period between packs on Either of those pills. That's just so strange to me. Do I need a pill with more hormones to get that bleed between packs? I can't seem to get a good answer from the two obgyns I've seen. I see another one in april, but they don't seem to understand that I WANT a period. I feel lik my body needs to have one...I do have cramping sometimes, but nothing too painful just a reminder that I'm not functioning properly. Would doubling up on the pill daily give me more hormones to have a period between packs? Thank you. 30 yr old female. 1 child.
