The BCP will do more than regulate your cycle. It will also straighten
out your hormone levels and decrease the cysts on your ovaries. I have
a friend who went on the pill for about a year to get her body back in
balance, then went off it and began fertility type treatments so she
could conceive. It worked well for her. Hope everything works out for
you.
