[QUOTE="eekysign, post: 243610, member: 6479"] You might want to talk to a GYN about having her evaluated for PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome)---that's one of the most common causes of irregular cycling. It's important to figure out why she's not getting regular periods----too many docs will just put the girls on BCP with-o actually discovering the cause first. PCOS also has a strong relationship with insulin resistance and can lead to diabetes, heart disease, obesity, inappropriate hair growth, etc, etc if untreated. It's also the most common cause of infertility in women. BCPs are part of the usual treatment, anyway, but it's important to know if she has any other problems. PCOS may not be the cause of her irregular cycles, but it's definitely something to rule out, since she's 3 years into her cycle and still totally out-of-whack. ;) The birth control pill Yaz is supposed to be good for the hardcare PMS symptoms and will regulate cycles. I've had a lot of friends swear by it---especially the ones that reacted "badly" to other forms of hormonal birth control. Hope you find something that helps your gal! [/QUOTE]
