PCOS Symptoms: Ghost Periods?

Hi! I have IR PCOS and I’ve had symptoms for about 15 years now, but only got diagnosed last year. Does anyone have “ghost period” symptoms? I’ve been having cramps for about a week plus acne, back aches, etc but still no period

Have you ever had luck with inducing your period by any means? Not with prescription meds

I've noticed when I do intermittent fasting It tends to help! But every month is a struggle. A hit or miss unfortunately 😔

That's not a ghost period. It a cyst that is about to rupture on your ovary. You may want to look into metformin and or birth control to ease those symptoms

I have birth control and I’m on metformin. It’s not in the ovary area, it’s lower

I appreciate your input though, I did have a huge cyst a few months ago and almost needed surgery
