Hello. I would like to know all your experiences. A little about me: I am 21 female. I am 5"5 size 8 UK. I eat well, have longish fine hair and I go to the gym.

I got my periods at 15 (later) and it was so heavy and awful and painful. From the get go, they were always irregular and strange.

I went on the pill which helped, then had a break. I got no period for 11 months, then went on the injection for 6 months. Then I stopped and got a 2-3 week period.

Didn't have a period for 7 months, then, magically, it arrived.

and it stayed. for 10 weeks.

The doctors did my blood test, and I have low SGBH and high free androgen index.

I also have some small cysts on my right ovary.

My doc said it was fine and put me on the pill. Period stopped but I still don't feel right.

I've been getting nausea, feeling sick instead of hungry, confusion, light headed, dizzy, shivers and shakes, teeth chattering, cold sweats.

Then sometimes i get so thirsty and kept needing a wee and feeling bloated.

I kind of want to know if anyone else has this and what they think/did to get diagnosed/do to feel better.
