S2 E4: Irregular or Missing Periods with PCOS: Why Your Cycle Disappears

One of the most frustrating things about PCOS is when our periods just… vanish. We’ve all been there—staring at our apps, wondering if we should expect a bleed this month or if our cycle has just ghosted us again. In this episode, we’re diving into what’s really happening inside our bodies when cycles go missing with PCOS. We’ll unpack why things like insulin resistance, high stress, thyroid shifts, and those tricky hormone imbalances can cause anovulation (cycles without ovulation) and lead to irregular or absent periods. I’ll share labs you can request from your doctor to help get clarity, as well as natural tools and lifestyle strategies that can support more regular cycles. If you’re ready to understand your body better and start restoring rhythm to your cycle, this conversation is for us. ✨ Want deeper 1:1 support?
