I’m 11 days pp and a serious nightly sweaty Betty! I’m destroying 2 pairs of jammies a night and having to sleep on a towel halfway through the night to stay sort of dry 🙈🙈 please tell me I’m not the only one?!

59 Day Cycle

Hi, Just wondering how long people's cycles can get with PCOS. Mine usually range from 33-40 days but this month I am currently on cycle day 59! I am currently testing negative but have no symptoms of my period arriving anytime soon. So frustrating! Any advice would be much appreciated 🙂

Hormone info

On the 23 my progesterone was 21 and now it is 7. Im thinking that means it did not take this cycle. Would anyone have any insight to confirm or a similar experience?

Light periods

I have always been super lucky (or so I thought!) having light and short periods (talking 2 days), and I don’t suffer with horrendous cramps or anything just fairly standard period pains.

Period every other week!

I’m almost 7 month pp and my periods seem to be coming every 8-10 days 🥲 they’re lasting around 6 days but is this normal? I also breastfeed at night so I thought this was meant to reduce them. Also on the mini pill but started this just after I gave birth

Night sweats

Anyone else wake up drenched in sweat at night? I read online that it has to do with hormone levels changing... I wonder how long it is going to take to settle because I can't just change my sheets daily 😅
