On Ortho Tri Cyclen at age 17 for year. (I dont produce cysts - thank GOD! Otherwise I would have been horrified. I didnt discover fact about this drug until I was 20-something)

When I came off, over a few months, PCOS got really bad. Worse then before I was on the pill. I have been progressing worse ever since. My symptoms have been worse then the average PCOSer for some reason. PCOS did mask my symptoms and I did get menstrauls but only lasted 3 to 4 days during pill. Went off pill and didnt get menstraul again on my own ever again until 2 yrs ago (off treatments for almost 3 years). I dont think the pill made my symptoms worse, just hid them. Im convinced of that.

Will never go back on a BCP again.
