I am 28 yrs old and never had regular periods in life. I was diagnosed with poly cystic ovaries before my pregnancy. I have a 2 yr old. I get periods only once in 2 months. Is that normal? Can I live with that?

It may be what is normal for you. Although most women do, not everyone has a regular period every month. Some may only have a few a year and that can be normal for them.

Having an irregular cycle is very common with PCOS... one of the more common symptoms of it. You can have your doctor do some testing to determine how likely it is that you are ovulating.. would be especially helpful if you ever decided to try for another baby. PCOS can make conceiving more challenging for many women.

Thankfully, your PCOS must not be so bad since you've been able to get pregnant. You can live with PCOS but sometimes you can end up having other issues with your ovaries later in life. There are a few websites that provide lots of information and support for PCOS, it would be a good place for you to start learning more about it. Here are the links: PCOS – Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (http://www.pcos.insulitelabs.com), and PCOSupport™ (http://www.pcosupport.org). I hope these are helpful for you.

Good luck!
