Hi Melissa,

From: anonymous@obgyn.net (Melissa)

I heard that if you take birth control pills that it would regulate my periods, (which they are already fine) and help my hormone levels for later. I am 27, I plan on getting married in 2 years, and I will be 29.My Dr prescribed "Yasmine" cause it has Spirolactone in it. So should I take the birth control pills for 2 years and then when I get off of them will it help my hormone levels be strong enough to produce good eggs???

>> It does sometime happen that getting off the pills helps in the first few
months, sometimes not. We are all different. You may need something for the eggs you produce then. There are other problems PCOS affects in getting pregnant, those might be a problem, rather than the eggs.

I also heard that if I take birth control pills that the estrogen from them will counter act the gloucophage in the insulin resistance and will defeat the purpose of Gloucophage. Any suggestions???????

>> I've not seen that anywhere in any medical study. Good luck!

Victoria
