A member asked:
I have pcos. what if my estrogen levels don't fall during the time of bleeding? is that why menstrual flow becomes light?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Works differently: With PCOS periods are irregular due to an imbalance in the LH and FSH hormones as well as the circulating free testosterone. We do not monitor Estrogen levels with PCOS.
