I keep hearing this and know that BCPs mask the pcos symptoms...but how do I know which BCPs do not cancel the effect of metformin....I'm supposed to start on bcps for 3 months to suppress my FSH....and am afraid of the very same thing...I don't want the met to lose it potency...plus I'm going on a low dose combined BCP.- (Ovral-L)......meaning it has estrogen and progesterone in low doses....and this one suits me in the sense that the weight gain and mood swings r not much and I can control it by my diet and exercise.....I really coudn't find any info which states which BCP interacts negatively with Met...but I do know some do..
and as for masking the symptoms of PCOS...since I already know I have pcos and am wokring towards controlling it I think this masking shd not make much of a difference....or will it??
