Long Cycles & Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
If you are left wondering when you are getting your period. It might be 28 days, it could be 38 or 68 days, you just don’t know, then it’s good to see a fully qualified healthcare practitioner. More than likely some tests will need to be conducted like an ultrasound. And then when you finally get your period, it can cause such pain and discomfort.
One condition that has long cycles is Polycystic Ovaries or Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome.
Some of the symptoms can include:
- Long Cycles
- Painful Periods
- Excess Hair
- Weight gain (but not always)
- Insulin Resistance
- Difficulty Conceiving
