PCOS is known to cause dysfunctional bleeding. This can be bleeding when you shouldn't or not having any periods at all.
You have been given synthroid for your underactive thyroid, and metformin because of the effects of PCOS on insulin resistance (it's usually used in diabetes). But metformin can also increase the frequency of menstruation.
You could either reduce your dose of metformin - most likely to help if your period problems started after you started taking the drug.
Or, you could see about being put on a type of pill which should prevent bleeding in between periods. A progesterone one would be best (like provera but used longer).
Before you do anything with your medication, SEE YOUR DOCTOR. S/he will be able to run tests to rule out any treatable causes, and will know about your full medical history. And most importantly, reassure you.

You didn't say how old you are. Unrelated to your other medical problems, you may be in menopause which screws up your cycle BIG TIME. There's a chance that you need to have a hysterectomy. I did for the same reason. I only had about five days per month in which I did not bleed. I was literally stuffing towels down my underwear and between my legs. By the time I had the surgery, I was severely anemic with shortness of breath, chronic fatigue, and heart palpitations. Seek medical advice ASAP.

Thyroid disease is one of the most common health problems we face today. From a practical standpoint, there are many ways to approach this issue. Learn here https://tr.im/0VBYT
Hypothyroidism, or underactive thyroid, is a very common problem, and there are many reasons for this, including drinking chlorinated and fluoridated water, and eating brominated flour.
Chlorine, fluoride, and bromine are all in the same family as iodine, and can displace iodine in your thyroid gland.
Secondly, many people simply aren't getting enough iodine in their diet to begin with. The amount you get from iodized salt is just barely enough to prevent you from getting a goiter.

Get back to your doctor. You may need to be on more provera. Are you taking iron to supplement what you're losing with this long term bleeding?
Ask your doctor about this too.

sweetheart, I don't know a lot about hypothyroidism, but the bleeding that you're experiencing doesn't sound normal to me. and it sure doesn't sound right for it to be going on for three months. you really need to get back with your doctor and tell him/her what's going on and get the proper medical treatment that's right for you.
Hope you get to feeling better very soon.

I would see a doctor asap. You need to stop the bleeding somehow, and they can help you with this.
