ve been noticing my periods getting shorter. Not very noticeable at first. My periods should be about 5 days. Last month it was getting noticeable, it was 3.5 days. This month it was 2.5 days, and that wasn't even a continuous 2.5 days, the flow stopped partway through for about a half a day and then resumed. This is really abnormal for me. Good part is - normally I was having bad cramps on my first day, not extremely bad but enough to make me take an ibuprofen.

Hi, my husband and I have been married for 3 years. We want to have a baby. We are not really trying to make it happen, we are just letting whatever happen. Since we are in our mid 20's, I am surprised that I haven't became pregnant yet. My periods are very irregular and have been for about 5 years, and I am wondering if this is because my hormones are imbalanced due to stress. I am a college student and we have moved around to different areas several times since we got married.
HE SAID THAT I HAD A HORMONE IMBALANCE DUE TO STRESS........HE SAID THAT HE WAS POSITIVE OF THIS AND GAVE ME PROGESTERONE TO TAKE FOR FIVE DAYS........HE WAS RIGHT........EVERYTHING IS BACK ON TRACK AND I WAS CALM AFTER THAT.........WELL, MY DOCTOR WHO DID THE BLOOD WORK AND URINE TEST BEFORE THE OBGYN VISIT AND HORMONES, HAD HER RECEPTIONIST CALL ME AND SAY THAT MY BLOOD SUGAR WAS A LITTLE HIGH AND THAT THE DR. WAS PRESCRIBING 2 MEDICATIONS FOR ME......
Hello,
You seem to be having the symptoms of menometrorrhagia. Various factors causing it are endometriosis, ectopic pregnancy, hormone imbalance,endometrial hyperplasia, polyps, use of IUD’s and depo shots, sexually transmitted diseases, PCOS and benign and malignant pathologies of the uterus. I would advise a gynecologist’s evaluation and an ultrasound uterus to ruled out the above possibilities.
You are young! When I was in my 20's, I had a hormone imbalance. It appears when estrogen and progesterone are imbalanced, you can have irregular bleeding and abnormally heavy periods. https://www.chop.edu/conditions-diseases/heavy-menstrual-bleeding-menorrhagia Other reasons are things like fibroids or endometriosis. None is serious if any of those.
In a brief pre-op appointment with my OB she mentioned to me that she believes I may have PCOS. She did not run any tests but is basing it on weight gain, heavy periods, and the fact that I got pregant on BC with my frist child and TTC for the past 10 months.
I would like to go back into DR. but would like to know what I am asking for. Do you think this sounds like PCOS? Is there anything I can take to help TTC? Should I go back on the pill?
Help!

The most concerning issues with PCOS are the increase of infertility, the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, and the higher risk of developing endometrial (uterine) cancer at an early age.
Your challenge is that PCOS is a systemic, complex disorder that needs to be actively managed by you for the rest of your life.
