Okay, I was diagnosed with PCOS this year but my doctor told me i was borderline (whatever that means) He did all sorts of test and my only symptoms are; hair growing... everywhere! I have terrible acne and high testosterone. My insulin levels were sorta high but not too bad. The only thing that he said kind of threw him off is that I always get a period. I get it every 33-36 days but i always get it.
So anyway, he told me to start taking Demulen and spironolactone. I'm not taking the spiro yet, but I am taking the bcps and I believe the pills are giving me terrible headaches- and to top that- everytime i'm on birth control I get horrible yeast infections
Right now however, my problem is the headaches...I can't stand this anymore! I've had a headache for the past 4 days!
So my question is; Aside from using the pill as a form of birth control,what else is the pill good for if i have PCOS?

For me the pill helps my skin and excess hair. It takes 2 or 3 months to get the skin under control but then I have no problems. Demulin gave me headaches too. It may take a pill swithch eventually to help you symptoms. They are all a bit different.
