Thank you. I too have PCOS and I've tried Diane and Yasmin, Diane made me bleed every two weeks and I've been on Yasmin for 6 months now and I blled every day on it. I see my Endocrinologist next week and I'm going to ask her about Metformin. I have 7 Fibroadonemas in my breasts which my surgeon mentioned can be caused by the pill. I was on Diane since 18 and I''m now 27. I have had hairloss for 4 years now, it started after I was redundant from a job and has continued since. If I go off the pill I don't get a period, I tried going off Diane 2 years ago for a break and I was off it for 8 months and I didn't bleed once and I had greasy hair and skin and bad pimples once again. The good thing about Diane I was told my skin always looked good (No pimples). I'm 27 and concerned that I can't have children with everything you hear about PCOS how hard it is to fall pregnant. I'm not with anyone at the moment so I feel pressured to meet someone and start as it may take years.
