PCOS ?'s: See previous answers to your questions about PCOS. Low dose oral bcp's can stop the stimulation that constant estrogen production produces on the uterine lining. Spotting and irregular bleeding represents breakthrough bleeding when a patient has documented PCOS, and a "true period" following ovulation is very rare to absent with PCOS.
