I am terribly sorry about the delay.

What do you mean by "not regular":

1. Do they occur monthly or do you skip months
2. Is there variability in terms of the cycles themselves (are some lighter than others?)
3. What "treatments" have you had for the PCOD?

Thank you!

Thank you for the followup clarification.

PCOS is a condition associated with insulin resistance and a 'polycystic' appearance of the ovaries. This appearance is related to the fact that women with PCOS do not ovulate regularly or at all. This is what is happening in your case, and for regulation of your cycle they put you on birth control pills, and for treatment of your insulin resistance, they put you on a diabetes medication.

The irregularity in your cycles is related to absent ovulation. When you don't ovulate, you don't get a cycle, and then the subsequent bleeding is variable and very irregular.

In answer to your question regarding future children, I am sure that you will be able to get pregnant, but you might encounter difficulty in terms of the ovulation issue. Here is what you need to do:

1. You need to lose weight - your BMI (related to height and weight) is elevated. This is the single most important thing you can do to return your cycles to normal and decrease difficulty getting pregnant
2. Until you are ready to get pregnant, stay on the birth control pills
3. If you are trying to get pregnant now, then talk with your doctor about a drug called clomid (which should be taken with the benforce) as these two medications together (in the setting of PCOS) will increase your chance of ovulating.

I hope that this helps!

Thankyou but i have 1 more question

i start to take tablet from oct 2011 i took diane-35 for six months and then i go for test and then my fsh was 5.6 and lh was 4.80 , tsh=1.7.

then my doctor advice me to take benforceM for 6 months and then i took test them my fsh=7.66 mIU/ml lh=10.7mIU/ml tsh =1.86
now again my doctor tell me to take metformin and daine-3 for 6 months.

I m really very afraid about my future..

Answered by Dr. Timothy Raichle (34 hours later)
These labs are all very reassuring. You are getting good advice. Take the next 6 months to reduce your weight, and my guess is that you will not need the metformin. You chance of future pregnancies is actually quite good. Do not worry too much as you are young and there is plenty of time for all of the pieces to fall together.

Good luck and remember to leave feedback!
