You might want to consider speaking to an endocrinologist or a top notch Gyne (one that isn't completely focused on Obstetrics... unless you are focusing on conceiving).  If you have a hormone imbalance a BC pill might be "all" you need... however if it is a more complex/serious imbalance the BC might only mask the symptom and not treat the cause.

Just some thoughts... hope it helps.
