A member asked:
My period is 16 days apart, is this normal. before giving birth three months ago my period was more than 35 days apart. i have pcos as well. please advise if a 16 day apart period is normal. ?

Frequent "periods" ?: Bleeding "16 days apart" does not represent menstrual bleeding. PCOS usually involves very irregular ovulation, which is accompanied by sustained estrogen mediated thickening of the uterine lining, which can break done causing intermittent vaginal bleeding. Ask you gyn physician about low dose oral contraceptives, an approved treatment for PCOS.
