Polycystic overies

[Nikki2684]

Hello,

I'm 24 yrs old and have been on Contraceptive since 2002. In 2002 i was deducted with ovarian cyst in one of my overy & also my insulin was high for which i was advised Metformin. However I had to change my gynecologist cause my earlier gyne was relocated to another location. In June 08, when my new gyne asked me to show her new ultrasound report & some other tests, then it was discovered that both my overies were effected & now i have polycystic overies but the insulin is in control & i'm still on Contraceptive (Ovral - L) .

Wanted to know whether i'm on correct drug or there is some other way too to handle this. I'm about to get married next year, so will this be causing any problem as & when i decide to get pregnant?

Please advice. Thanks.

That I dont know. I dont plan on stopping my pills until the end of this year when me and my boyfriend try for a baby.

hi there,

i have pcos and my OB and  DERMATOLOGIST suggested that i take yasmin coz i have acne in my face and back and probably because of hormonal imbalance. i never wanted to take pills because of the side effects. its my 1OTH DAY of taking the pills. no drastic improvement with my acne yet. im quite sleepy lately, i dont know if this is one of the effects of the pill. anyway, my greatest concern is that after i stopped taking the pill after 6 months, im afraid of acne breakouts. is there anyone here who after stopping never had problems of breakouts?

Well I too have pcos and I take metformin 500mg 2x and yasmin bc pills. I've been on the bc pills for close to 2 years and metformin i started in september 2008 (taking them everyday). Metformin is the only known drug that is given out to pcos sufferers.
