I have no particular complaints about birth control pills. On the other hand, I don't love them either. I needed them to function because my body freaks out when I don't have periods and I start getting very sick. I've recently started Byetta and lost 45lbs and my periods seem to be coming more naturally now, even though I am still on the pill, so I will be speaking with my Dr about going off of them, too. Not because of any problems, but because it would be nice to save money and see if, after 12 years on the pill, my body really will do what it's supposed to do on it's own. Good luck finding a Dr that will fix the problem and not the symptoms...I would recommend going to the Dr recommendation section and finding someone in your area that specializes in PCOS and work with them...it really helped me. That's what I did and I finally ended up with an RE that does a lot of work with PCOS patients and couldn't be more pleased. I've had more progress in the 5 1/2 months I've been seeing him than I had in the 16 years I spent seeing countless other Dr's who couldn't help me or, worse, figure out what was wrong with me.
