What is the best birth control pill with the less side-effects?

Question

I have PCOS. I don't get my period at all unless I take birth control pills.

I've been taking these pills for about 6 years. I've tried Marvelon, Gynofen, Gynera, Minulet, and Yasmin.

All of them had serious side-effects that wouldn't allow me to work or live as a normal human being.

Any other kind of treatment/therapy I've tried didn't work. If I don't take BCP, I have almost a year without a period. So is there anything at all that can help me?

Answer 1

One that I took that was regularly used to treat PCOS before Yasmin came along was one calle Desogen.  I don't know if it still exists now but this could be an option for you.

Some women with PCOS also have tried dietary changes and taken a medication called Glucophage and found that it helped their period.  However, these women that took this also had a thing called Insulin Resistance.

I have the link to a site that has a messageboard and even groups for women not only by specific areas but particular topics that might be of help.  If you are interested in checking it out please feel free to e-mail me off site any time.  Please put in the subject line: "PCOS link" so that I will know what it's in regards to.
