Hi Christa,

This is true every BCP. I am glad that you have finally realised this, although I have posted many times that BCPs are not for PCOSers. Diane is a partial exception, because of its antiandrogen effects, but this doesn't help with IR. Porgestogen only pills may be somewhat better, but still... they are only halting (in best case) the progress of the disease.
