PCOS and Femcon Fe - Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) Message Board

Hello fellow "*******",

Yesterday my doctor insisted that I start BCP (Femcon Fe) to obviously aid with regular menstration as well as all the other pcos side effects. Has anyone else taken this? I'm terribly nervous, most especially about weight gain. My doctor assures me that weight gain shouldn't be an issue. He thinks I may even lose some weight. I'm already very overweight.

Thanks for any and all imput.

BCP masks the symptoms of pcos. It doesn't really 'do' anything to treat PCOS. My doc also put me on the pill when I was diagnosed, but he also put me on Metformin. I've lost some weight being on the metformin. You might talk to your doc about it. It's used for diabetics but it helps with PCOS and insulin resistance.
