 BC & Metformin for PCOS
First of all, are there any BCP out there that actually help PCOS (other than regulating periods because mine have always been pretty regular), or is it best to stay away from BCP if you have PCOS and don't need them to regulate your cycles? My main symptom is insulin resistance/weight gain and that's where I need help.
If there is a BCP out there that is helpful with PCOS, is it a good or a bad thing to take it with Metformin? Do you recommend one over the other?
I'm not on anything right now although I have been on one or the other in the past. I was on BCP before I was dx with PCOS. I was on metformin to help me get pregnant. Now, I am focusing on losing weight with weight watchers and a lot of exercise. I have a OB/GYN appt coming up soon and I'm thinking about asking for BCP, metformin or both. I haven't found a Dr. who is helpful or knows much about PCOS. Any advice??
Thank you!!
