    I recently went nearly 9 months without a period, with no explanation from a doctor besides the fact that I wasn't ovulating. Now I have had my period 111 days straight. I've had exams, and studies done with no real answers.

    Oh sweet jesus. 111 days?!

    I've been to the doctors and they've done blood tests and a vaginal ultrasound. They suspected PCOS but it turns out it wasn't that. Think they are pretty stumped right now.

    get a second opinion - definitely sounds like PCOS to me.

    Do you track your fertility symptoms? If you are not on hormonal medication, then you will only have a period after you ovulate. Keeping track can help you and your doctors. My "normal" is 24 days - 10 days before ovulating at 14 after - which is NOT typical and royally skews the numbers on the doctor's LMP charts. Sometimes I'll jump to 35 days or so, because of an atypical pattern, like this month I ov'd twice (actually not uncommon, we just don't pay attention).

    It is entirely possible to have PCOS AND fibroids or other issues. I certainly did.

    I had a fibroid the size of a volleyball growing through my uterus (VERY painful) by the time I got around to having a hysterectomy.

    My periods were never any more regular than every 6 weeks. Stress and trauma can stop periods too--didn't have one for more than a year after brain aneurysm and multiple brain surgeries.

    I would guess they did a complete thyroid hormone panel test? That should include antibody testing as well as tsh, t4, and t3, among them... Something to check out...hypothyroidism is very typical in irregular menstrual cycles.

    I haven't had a period in almost 2 years. I also have PCOS.

    I have PCOS and fibroids.... With pcos you don't really get your period but in my case I have a small fibroid on the inside of my uterus which is aggravating my uterus and making me have very heavy painful periods. I also bleed when working out or when I ovulate... Dr. says I have too much estrogen in my system so she put me on a progesterone pill to try to balance out my hormones. Been three months and no real change but do notice my hair has stopped falling out in clumps and the pain in my ovary is starting to ease up. Tho I'm still breaking out a lot I'm hoping it will go away. Please feel free to add me as I am looking for support and adding Instagram to log my food and healthy articles and research I'm doing. I guess it's a blog of some sort
