51 yr old, 4-5 periods in last year, doc prescribed to give more periods. Took from 1st to 10th of this month - two weeks later still no period. Feel that it altered my moods somewhat. Reluctant to continue due to other known side effects.

I have PCOS and didn't have my period for about 8 months. I was used to it because when I was 18 I missed my periods by months. My doctor first said it was normal then I went to the Gyno.
