Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have a hormonal imbalance that interferes with normal reproductive processes. PCOS usually starts at puberty and is associated with irregular periods and other hormone related symptoms. The most concerning issues with PCOS are the increase of infertility, the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, and the higher risk of developing endometrial (uterine) cancer at an early age.
Your challenge is that PCOS is a systemic, complex disorder that needs to be actively managed by you for the rest of your life.  It is not the type of disorder that can be effectively controlled in the long run by short-term measures such as taking birth control pills.
You need to go to a deeper level and develop certain health practices that will help your body to naturally minimize the symptoms and long- term risks of polycystic ovary syndrome. If you don't get to work on improving your health practices today, you may pay a heavy price later on.You don't need to let PCOS ruin your life.You can take action to build and protect your health.You can still live the life of your dreams, but it will take some dedicated work.
Talk to your doctor and/or fertility specialist (especially), if you are TTC.
Hope this helps, Divya.

Your doctor will probably suggest some kind of regimen of birth-control pills to see if the ovaries calm down.  If not, ask him or her if such a thing would help.
