heavy bleeding
I have PCOS since I was 16. Now I am 23.I was on 21days contraceptive pills for regulating my periods for a long time.But I stopped having them as I suffer from vomiting tendencies all the time.Me and my boyfriend we are having sex since I was 20. But I never have used contraceptive pills after having sex. But recently I took 2pills within 14days after having intercourse and I had terrible pain in stomach and heavy flow during periods. It was unbearable. Is there anything to worry about?

If you're talking about the morning after pill, that is a heavier dose of contraceptive than you'd get in a regular daily pill. So if you couldn't handle the regular pill, one of these would have been overkill for you. Two, well, probably enough to make you feel ill and mess up your body.
Did you ever let the doctor know about the vomiting and other symptoms from the pill. He would have put you on a different product. A popular treatment for heavy bleeding with cycles is the birth control pill. But some women's bodies react to the hormones in the pills so another product must be used.
You mention taking contraceptive pills AFTER having sex? That's not how its meant to work.
The hormones in the pill need time to build up in your body so they can already be present in your body before having sex. If you are not using any contraceptive other than the morning after pill, when you do take it, then you risk getting pregnant and you'd have to have your doctor if you are risking any permanent damage to your body in using just the morning after pill as your contraceptive. And this doesn't even cover the fact of your heavy bleeding. Are you still having it? Because you should see a doctor about that again. However,if they have another pill that still gives you side effects, then perhaps its time for you to research if there are any alternative medicine venues that might help with heavy bleeding. That's one issue, and the other is preventing pregnancy. If you end up on a non contraceptive treatment for PCOS, then you need to look at your best choices for a contraceptive without the hormones in it. As far as I know, getting fitted for a diaphragm and using spermicide is one way. Its a hassle, or at least it was for me to place it inside and I did get pregnant while using it. The other choice would be a copper IUD, intra uterine device. But perhaps due to PCOS the DR. may say its not a good choice. The Mirena has hormones still, but the Paraguard is just copper and copper changes the lining of the uterus so that an egg cannot attach, so its flushes out with the lining in the next cycle. I used that for 7 years and never got pregnant on it. Its good for about 10 years so in long run, cost effective as well. But check with Dr. on that cus it may not work with your condition. So no matter what, I vote for you going back to talk to your doctor again and if that doesnt work, find help for PCOS in alternative care if there are any things that help and at least use a diaphragm for birth control.
