So, living with probable pcos sucks. I get my period about three times a year, and it's heavy, stupid gushers...(Yes, I know, the body needs to get rid of lining, but seriously, the cramps are enough to knock anyone on their ass

Technically the body does not HAVE to get rid of the lining. Thank you IUD and Depo for not having a period in 11 years.
I know a few people who manage their PCOS with an IUD actually.
I am sorry you are dealing with sickness.

I didn't know that the body does not have to get rid of the lining. (My doctor was adamant that women should bleed every month...)

Being sick and on your period sucks. (The cold turned out to be strep throat. Lovely!)

Wow, your doctor is rather misinformed. I looked to see where you were from (because I could understand if it was a southern state) but Canada is suppose to have better doctors than ours LOL

Just doing a quick search I found an article that says that yes you should have a period BUT if you are taking any kind of birth control then it is not necessary.
So essentially, if you are not having periods and not having birth control then there is a problem. If you are not having periods but ARE taking birth control then everything is fine.
I was going to link the article but livejournal deemed it spam and would not let me post.

I totally agree though that being sick and periods just makes for worse suckiness than either of them on their own.
