Hi Ladies
I was wondering if you could all tell me what you've learned, heard, and experienced regarding PCOS and BC--I have been on BC the better part of 11 years on and off, but mostly on and though I am not trying to conceive right now, I would like my body to start trying to regulate on its own. I have been on Met since February 2008 and on 1000 (500 2x daily) of the ER...I'm wondering if I should strongly suggest/discuss that I be bumped to 1500? I have been off of bc for about 4-5 months now and while I got a normal period for the most part the first few months, my body has started to get quirky and it seems to be coming every 40 days...i am trying everything including evening primrose oil which I just added to the regimen...went to a nutritionist...eating healthfully for the most part and trying to lose the last lbs...but my hormones/mood swings are still wacky and my acne/oily skin is really frustrating/depressing for me...Some days I just cry over it...So I guess is what advice do you have? Do i just give up and go back on the proper type of BC? Ask to be bumped up with Met to 1500? Wait to see if supplements/diet will eventually get me somewhat regulated with the loss of a couple more lbs? Sooo frustrated right now :(
