My guess would be - if you irregular before the BCPs - that after going off them, your artificially supressed hormones remained supressed long enough to allow you to ovulate/menstruate doe a while... as the months went by, the PCOS took over again more and more, until the periods stopped again. This happens all the time - that's why a lot of women with PCOS are thought to be most fertile when they go off the pill. (Of course, a lot of others go off and don't see a period for a year...) If you have low progesterone now, chances are you haven't ovulated this cycle, which would explain why you are not getting a period... and what you are interpeetting as "PMS" could axctually just be a returning raging hormonal imbalance...

Were you irregular before going on the pill, and do you think you ovulated this cycle?
