A member asked:
Do you think i should stop taking birth control pill to check for symptoms of pcos?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Unless you desire to get pregnatn i don't recommend that you stop your bcp's. Unless you are having side effects or there is another reason for stoping them. I would discuss this issue with your gyn. Whty do you want to stop? Do you want to get pregnant? Other methods of treatment for pcos? Etc etc.
