It should help with excess hair growth, though you've found that it doesn't at least at the present dosage, but it won't treat the underlying cause of PCOS. You should be on an insulin sensitizer, such as Glucophage, as well. The best birth control pills do is mask the symptoms of the disease, but they leave you prone to developing PCOS complications, such as type II diabetes and uterine cancer. > [...] and what will happen if i stop taking > diannette which i plan on doing in the next 6 months as we would like to > try for a baby? You'll probably have a return of the symptoms held in abeyance by Dianette. Next message: Catherine: "HELP !!! newly diagnosed and metaformin problems already."
