PCOS, first natural period in over a year

[jessthemess]

I've been off the site for awhile, taking a break!

I'm starting my first natural period since December 2012. Hurts like crazzzzy.

I used to have periods a few times a year than I went on BCP, and they were regular. I was on BCP for about eight months, not very long, and went off when I got married. I had three periods in a row after stopping BCP, and the last one was in December of 2012, so technically that probably wasn't even a natural period, its just its the last one I can remember when I didn't take Provera.

During 2013 I used Provera to induce periods three times and I did two cycles of Clomid. Nothing happened either time pregnancy wise. And I was crazy emotional so I stopped and we've just been relaxing and not thinking about it much since August.

Then this week, I started having bad cramps in my back. And then today cramps so bad I lost my breath. And now my period is here, and TMI, but big clots and everything.

What I'm wondering is did I do something to make my come back? I haven't lost any weight more than like five pounds in the last six months but I got a new job so I'm way less stressed and more active. I'm wondering if I'll ovulate next month and if this is a good sign. I just got a gym membership so I'm hoping if its a good sign than maybe I can keep it going with more weight loss.

I know these questions can be answered with time and patience but also I'm just wondering if any other PCOSers out there have had a similar instance.

I havent been diagnosed with PCOS, but I went 19 months without a natural period! so I do know what its like!

it sounds to me like its the stress. you said you relaxed more, you're more active etc! stress can have a huge influence on your cycle, and I guess the more what you were doing didnt work, the more stressed and upset you became?

it sounds to me like a good sign. you may not O this cycle (I didnt) but I did the next cycle! imho it sounds like things are getting back on track though you may have long cycles to begin with. my first cycle was 52 days, my second was 45 days, so slowly improving!

oh and the first natural af I had was incredibly painful, and a very heavy flow. it sucked I suppose its just cos everything builds up for so long! the next af was much lighter.

good luck hope it all works out for you!
