Hi Stacey,

OK, my stance on BCPs is an OPINION as you put it, but one based on the pathomechansim of PCOS and on the mechanism of action BCPs exert on glucose tolerance. You have positive impressions of Mircette (composition?) which is fine, but do you know how your glucose tolerance has deteriorated or insulin levels have increased during 2+ years? So I am still CONVINCED that BCPs DETERIORATE PCOS therefore I also feel appropriate to try to convince other ones not to use them.
