Now: You should have a regular routine for regulating your periods. One of the best regimens for most pcos patients is the use of low dose birth control pills. Monthly Provera (medroxyprogesterone) is another option. Please discuss this with your doctor. Chronically irregular periods can increase your risk for overgrowth (hyperplasia) of the uterine lining (endometrium) or even cancer.
