[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 623663, member: 41816"] My periods were very heavy and irregular from 11-18 years. At 19 they stopped. Mentioned it to about 5 doctors over the next 15 years (all male), and was basically told (with differing levels of tact) that it was because I was too fat. Finally, age 30+ a new (female) doctor suggested I might have PCOS and sent me for tests. 2 years later, I finally got a diagnosis of PCOS and micro adenomas of the pituitary gland (many tiny benign tumours which produce excess prolactin). Now I take medication, am no longer gaining weight, and feel a lot better. Life is good. So, if a problem like this persists, keep asking until you get a proper answer. Don't let them fob you off.
