A member asked:

I want to know why im not having my menstrual cycle. please help i have pcos and i switched to the birth control shot now pills and no period at all .

PCOS: Unclear why you're not having a withdrawal bleed on hormone therapy. The most likely explanation is that the dose of estrogen is too low to stimulate uterine development and have a withdrawal bleed due to the progesterone. I suggest a higher dose of estrogen.
