Multiple choices: If you have irregular periods and pcos, you can choose any birth control pill. Yaz (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol) has been associated with higher rates of vte, or clots in the leg veins , which could be serious. You can choose one of the lo estrin or lo orthotricyclen pill. If you have increased facial , neck hair due to pcos, you can take spironolactone in addition to the pill.
