A member asked:
Can i stop taking pills for pcos if i start having regular periods?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe. Some OBGYNS use the pills to kick start your system into a more regular/predictable pattern so your daily life can improve. Stopping them may or may not leave you with a good pattern. It may be that you need them for pattern control until you decide you want kids & are willing to accept the trade off.
