Hi, I am 31yrs old with irregular periods..well they have always been irregular since high school. Its been confirmed that I have pcos.. I have been on oral contraceptives, provera and depo-provera on/off.. I even had surgery for a large cyst 2yrs ago.. My periods are still not coming on its own...

Hi. PCOS causes hormonal imbalance due to which periods are irregular.
You will have to take pills for long time to regularise the periods and keep on getting withdrawl bleeding.Progesterone pills are certainly better than combined pills for long time use to prevent risk of breast carcinoma.This is the only way to keep periods regular.You can also try progesterones only in 2nd half of your cycle.
Thanks.
