I got my period when I was on holiday

September 22, 2021 By Motherhood No Comments

When I was younger I would always calculate my holiday around the time when i had no period. For me, periods were a bit of an inconvenience if I was on holiday. Fast forward, 10+ years later I’m on holiday and I’m praying for my period to come.
You see, I was diagnosed with PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) in 2016. In all the 4 years that I’ve known I’ve had PCOS, I’ve never struggled with a late period. I’ve always had regular periods that came every 28-32 days.
That all changed a couple of months ago when my period came after 35 days and then the next cycle 40 days then the next 45 days.
For somebody who was struggling to conceive that was just a killer.
After 2 (45 day) cycles, I decided to stop the medication that the gynae had given me and try seed cycling(google that) and it seemed to work for me even though I did not do it religiously.
Because I then got my period back to a regular cycle of 32 days. So seeing my period during my holiday time in Mombasa after a 32 day cycle I could not have been more excited. I just hope that in the coming months I will have a regular period.
Have you heard of PCOS?
Do you have PCOS or irregular periods?
