    Did you have a full hormone panel? Did you have a vaginal ultrasound? It could be PCOS

    This. Before they confirmed I have PCOS I would not have a period for months (6-12 months) and then would bleed like crazy for up to a month. I would talk to your doctor.

    Thank you everyone for your thoughts. I will ask for a full hormone panel if this continues

    Another possibility - your dr says your thyroid is normal, but it's possible to have normal TSH levels and still have thyroid problems. If an investigation into PCOS doesn't turn anything up, you might want to see if you can find a thyroid specialist to check things out.

    Best of luck.

    That is a healthy body fat %, seems unlikely that would be the cause of hormonal difficulties.

    This is why I assume my extreme exercising might be doing it. When I asked a trainer, he said most likely diet. Doctor says bloodwork is normal. I asked about PCOS and the doctor sais theres no indication of it.

    We have already established that the trainer is full of crap.

    Lol. Good thing hes not my trainer. Hes just a trainer at the gym.

    Thank you. I think I might see a different gyno too for another opinion of what's going on.
