Hi,

The decreasing amount of bleeding is a common side/effect of all OCs. This is caused by the progestogen component, which tends to thin the endometrium and in the end it can stop bleeding. The opposit is true for PCOSers> the increased amount or duration of estrogen increases the thikness of the endometrioum, resulting in irregular and profuse bleeding. Zou should have your endometrium bulit up.for zour info
