BCP's: Bcp's only give you regular menses, they do not attack the cause of pcos which is Insulin resistance. Upset stomach could be due to bcp, but also many other potential causes. Ask your doctor about metformin therapy, which actually reduces the cause and can restore normal menses and even fertility in many women. Also work or diet, exercise and weight loss.
