How to Get a Regular Period with PCOS in 2025: What Actually Works

Irregular or missing periods are one of the most frustrating symptoms of PCOS—and they’re also one of the most common. If you’re wondering how to get a regular period with PCOS in 2025, you're not alone.

Fortunately, there are clinically proven treatments and lifestyle changes that can help restore more predictable cycles—often without relying on birth control.

At Oana Health, we focus on root-cause hormonal care, and that includes helping you get your period back on track.

Why PCOS Causes Irregular Periods

In PCOS, hormone imbalances disrupt your ovulation cycle. You may have:

Elevated androgens (male hormones like testosterone)
High insulin levels or insulin resistance
Imbalances in LH and FSH, which affect ovulation

This makes it harder for your ovaries to release an egg regularly—so your period becomes infrequent, unpredictable, or absent.

How to Get Your Period Back with PCOS

1. Support Blood Sugar & Weight Management

Even small improvements in insulin sensitivity or body weight can make a major difference. In fact, research shows that a 5–10% weight loss can help many people with PCOS start ovulating again.

At Oana Health, we offer clinically backed prescription tools to support this, including:

✅ Metformin – Improves insulin resistance and can trigger more regular periods over time
✅ GLP-1 medications (like Ozempic or similar) – Help with sustainable weight loss and hormonal balance
✅ Nutritional coaching and support for long-term lifestyle changes

2. Use Targeted Medications (When Needed)

If lifestyle support alone isn’t enough, other medical options can help regulate your cycle:

Inositol supplements – Natural insulin sensitizers that may support ovulation
Spironolactone – Helps reduce androgens, though not a direct period-regulator
Hormonal support – In some cases, birth control or progesterone may be used short term to re-establish bleeding cycles

At Oana, our care team will help you find the right combination for your body—not just a band-aid solution.

3. Track, Don’t Obsess

Apps, ovulation strips, and blood tests can help you monitor progress—but remember: cycle restoration takes time. For many women, it takes 3–6 months of consistent treatment and lifestyle changes to see real improvements.
