No periods
I started my first period at the age of 15 and had it 2 times with a gap of 3 months. Then I had no period for next 1 year 6 months. I had no symptoms of pcod which you know is the common problem. I went to doctor and the report was 16cm3 ovary both and excess LH and prolactin by 9 and 5 units respectively and I was on medications for 6 months. After re-checkup after 6 months it was 11cm3 and doctor said my hormone would have got balance so we didn't do harmone check bt and said now I am gonna to have periods regularly and gave apcod sachets for 1 months and I continued birth controls peels for 3 months. But it has been since 6 months since I stopped peels still no periods. My current age is 17 years 9 month still I have no symptoms or pain. Please discuss my problem doctor.
You need to take progesterone withdrawal for periods. I will immediately advise you to get your FSH AND LH test, thyroid and Prolactin again in day 2 of your periods . Once we have these tests we will have an idea to test further in depth for PCOS or any other problems.
Prolactin levels stay high in about 10 % of women and they need to take medications to keep it under control.
If it is severe pcod where you just don't get your periods without pills, then we need to do some more tests to look for testosterone hormone and Insulin resistance and plan treatment accordingly.
If FSH hormone value is high then treatment plan is different.
It is important to make a diagnosis and blood tests will help with that.
