I have pcos with low estrogen and prog. how would my gyn increase my estrogen? i heard bcp is bad because it will decrease my estrogen even more.

Not likely: If you are not trying to conceive, then birth control pills are best to help prevent conversion to testosterone as well as to help prevent uterine cancer. Women with pcos often have elevated estrogen, not low estrogen. Maybe consider going to gynecologist again to make sure that you have the right diagnosis. Again, if you are trying to conceive then bcp not indicated.
