Did anyone else notice the dates of all of the research in this article? They are all in the 1990s. Many are over 10 years ago! That's longer than many of us have known we've had PCOS. The bold-type comment stating that BCPs are not a good treatment are supported by research completed in 1995 and 1993. Is there any more current research on this topic. Where can we find more research articles on PCOS?

Also, what about those of us that are taking Metformin for IR and BCPs to regulate our periods (and as a contraceptive)? I would like to know if there have been studies on women taking both.

Lastly, what exactly do the researchers mean my "long term?" 1 year? 5 years? 10 years?

For me, this artcile leaves more questions than answers and I encourage everyone to read as much reasearch as they can. Don't base your life-decisions on one article.

Best wishes all!
