Unbearable period pain with nausea + 20-day delayed cycle (PCOS, high prolactin, low ferritin(taking iron tabs since a month)) — Ayurvedic meds not helping, I don’t get my periods naturally — PLEASE help

PCOS

Hi everyone,

I’m genuinely struggling and really need advice or shared experiences.

I was supposed to get my period around May 12, but it finally came on June 2 — that’s about 20 days late. And when it finally came, the pain was UNBEARABLE.

I’m talking about:

Nausea for hours

Clenching bedsheets, crying, screaming

Unable to walk properly

Took 2 Meftal-Spas (one in the morning, one at night) — only then I could function a little

I’m still on Day 2 right now, and honestly, I’m in pain as I write this.

Background:

I have PCOS

Blood test 3.5 months ago showed high prolactin and low ferritin

My diet is very clean: no processed food, very occasional bites of outside food

I follow a high-protein, fiber-rich, balanced diet (no protein powders)

I regularly do yoga and exercise

I was taking Ayurvedic medicines this month too, but even with that, my periods came late and the pain is still unbearable , At this point, even Ayurvedic treatment isn’t helping anymore , I don’t get my periods naturally — they only come with some kind of intervention

Endocrinologist said…

I had seen an endocrinologist once, and he told me that “getting your period once in 2 months is fine.”

But honestly, it’s NOT fine for me — I didn’t get my period at all last month, and now I’m in the worst pain ever. So I don’t think it’s okay just to leave it untreated or irregular like this. It’s affecting my physical and mental health so badly.

What I’ve already tried:

Spearmint tea

Herbal teas before period

Magnesium spray

Hot water bag

None of these have really helped.

🙏 Please help:

Has raspberry leaf tea helped anyone with cramps?

Any natural supplements or remedies that genuinely helped?

Anyone else with PCOS + high prolactin + low ferritin experience this type of pain?

I’m doing everything “right” and still suffering every month (or sometimes two). I’m desperate to break this cycle — even just one thing that helped you might help me.

Thank you so much for reading. I really don’t want to feel this kind of pain again .. please reply and helppp!!!! any remedy and experience , would help pls! also i feel i have endometriosis idk if its tht ,,, i have this pain only when i am on my periods rest of the days im fine. maybe its my hormones only idkkkk anymore
