I have pcos and was told to take birth control when period starts since i was at secretory phase. it has been three weeks but no period. whats wrong?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
? wrong ?: Many with PCOS have irregular periods that may be separated by several months. The advise to start pills with menses is an effort to match natural hormonal changes. Since you have a delay I would contact the prescribing doc for guidance.
