PCOS and birthcontrol

[dragonflysar21]

I have been diagnosed with PCOS and have been on metformin to help regulate my periods.  After that not working the doctor switched me to a birth control pill called Yasmine.  I took the pill for the past 4 months and still have not had a period.  Along with very bad mood swings.  I want to figure out what is going on but the doctor tells me to just stick with the birth control pills to help with the PCOS.  I feel that the birth control is not working for me either, are there any other options for helping with PCOS?

I am trying something new.. its a natural way to deal with pcos.  its from a place called insulite labatories..  they deal with pcos by helping to reverse all the testestrone leves and the insulin resistance. They even give you a helping hand when it comes to dieting and exercize.  Its the only thing I found to help out a little more than what the doctors kept telling me.

I also was on birth control aand metphormin to help regulate my cycles. I have PCOS, too. Birth control use to work but now, even trying different kind, they no longer work. I hope we both can find something to help. I've been bleeding since 3/18. PCOS sucks.

The dr gave me the provera several times.  It only worked once.  I tried to call the doc and ask about it, thinking I should make another appt. but they told me to just keep taking the birth control and it should be fine.  I hate the side effects of it though.  Anyway, they refused to make me the appt, guess its time to find another dr.  :(

I thought being on BCP always brought about a period. Anyway did your doctor give you provera to start a period? That's what I was given sometimes.
