Diagnosed with pcos. doctor prescribed birth control and metformin to help out with the cycles. never had a period until got on bc. what happens after?

Can't say: With metformin and weight loss it is possible that you will be able to have normal periods without the pills but it is also possible that you will return to your previous bleeding pattern when you stop the pills especially if you don't loose weight. Hope this helps.
