PCOS Disappearing?
Hi! I'm new to this forum. I've never posted before. Lately though I've been having some weird stuff happening and can't find anything on Google about it..
Some back story...I'm 24. I got married about a year and a half ago and I was taking birth control(I was only on it for 3 months in my whole life). My periods were always regular before birth control.
A couple months after being married we decided to stop taking bc and ttc. That was august 2018. I had a couple periods but then in December my period was abnormally long so I made an appointment with my dr. Long story short my periods stopped almost altogether and after blood tests and an ultrasound I was diagnosed with PCOS in may of 2019.
At this point we had pretty much put ttc on hold because I was going months without ovulating. I only got 3 periods throughout the entirety of 2019, that is until October...
Late October I got a period naturally, and then again in late November. And then again late in December! I was also having some spotting between these periods. Now its January and I decided "maybe I should try tracking this month.." A few days ago I got a positive OPK and my bbt went up to 98.1 afterward. So it would seem I'm on track to get another period late this month.
Have any of you heard of or experienced anything like this? Like temporary PCOS? Or PCOS just going away after a year? Is it possible to have PCOS and get 4 periods fairly regularly in a row??

I have PCOS, I have semi-regular periods I’ve been TTC for nearly 2 years. Mine used to average 36-42 days long and I would often miss a cycle once a year and therefore go 3 months without 1. I have been on metformin for 8 months now and they have shortened to 30-38 days.
I’ve read lots of things can affect PCOS such as: diet, exercise, stress and being overweight is a big factor for many as it throws hormone levels out. I would say that if you have it then you have it ... It doesn’t go away but it can managed and it can improve.
BC can trigger it and then your body can settle back down and return to normal after a while. It could be that!
