Close Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)

I was diagnosed with PCOS at 21, after having very bad clotting. I am now 24 and the hubby and I are thinking about starting a family later this year or next year. I am very worried about the effects that PCOS will have on this :(

Treatments

Aldactone Working / Worked

Worked well at lightening the hair on my arms.

NuvaRing Working / Worked

I still spot in between, and will sometimes start my period before I take the ring out.

Oral Contraceptives Working / Worked

Used Yaz and Yasmin. Effective at regulating, but gave me bad migraines. Also very expensive, around $60 with insurance!

Provera Somewhat Helpful

It helped to regulate, but I was bad at remembering to take it for the right 10 days so I turned to regular daily BC.
