Scanty period is a sign of Adrenal fatigue which is a part of PCOS. I would take it seriously as it is the stepping stone to other complications of PCOS. No wonder you may be feeling tired or dizzy also.

Next Steps

Good news is that your problem can be totally reversed, not by masking the symptoms but by addressing the root cause of your issue. To know more on this, please read my blogs on www.truhealing.com or practo health feeds. Hope that helps....
