Hi Alexandra,

Most drs experienced in PCOs are against BCP use, except for Diane and probably the new Yasmin. I don't have any experiences with the latter. Provera is definetely better for most patients, because you don't put in any estrogens, which PCOSers have in excess. You could try the other insulin sensitizers Avandia or Actos. For your help
