BCPs were the standard treatment for PCOS before Met. became pretty popular. They are not a long term solution, and I believe they just mask the symptoms. Some ladies do swear by them for helping long term bleeds or irregular AFs. You can search the Articles board for more info.
BCPs are thought to cause IR in young girls.
You should be screened for diabetes, insulin resistance (do you have AN?), cushings, fatty liver, high blood pressure, high cholesterol among other things.
