BCP and PCOS

Provera worked for me. I didn't want the on birth control so I never went back on it. I still suffer from pcos but just let my body do what it wants really. I get a very very light period each month but sometimes if I'm stressed I won't get it that month. I only ever did a year of peovera. I also suggest looking into herb called Vitex. I found it helped me with my mood swings and hormones.

I never wanted to be on birth control... But it is the best for pcos. I do think back an wonder if I had of just done the birth control maybe i wouldn't have pcos anymore.

Why the hell are you asking some high school dweebs who have never even spoken to a real live girl, when you have full medical advice from a professional?

Qualified medfags do lurk this board

For PCOS, we usually start on Metformin and a hormone (or anti-hormone)

Ultimately the best thing you can do for your PCOS though, is lose weight. I hope you've been told this too

Metformin makes weight loss easier but I HATE this advice because the lifestyle change involved would send normal people to the loonie bin and sets them up for horrible spirals in eating habits like yo-yo dieting.

Even if you lost 5% of your body weight, if the culprit fat isn't significantly affected, you could gain that 5% back with additional weight and then it becomes harder to lose next time.

But it's generally a good idea not pile on the pounds at least.
