Birth control in order to TTC?

Question

So I just got diagnosed with PCOS this past week. I haven't had a period since getting off BC in the last 8 months. My doctor said her course of treatment is to put me on birth control again for 6 months in order to get "my period regulated"  and then try hormones. Is this the normal course of action for TTC with PCOS? I really don't want to get back on birth control because of the side effects. It's also never regulated my periods so I'm super skeptical.

Answer

No because you cant get preg... You need progesterone and possibly clomid in order to ovulate if you havent had periods. Get a 2nd opinion hun

Answer

Get a second opinion! I was diagnosed a year ago and I see a specialist and he said he never recommends BC as a treatment for PCOS because it's really just like a bandaid and doesn't help you get pregnant

Answer

My doctor also put me in borth control for pcos knowing im ttc. He told me it will regulate my hormones and in turn possibly get me pregnant. Im sceptical aswell but im doing it anyhow.

Answer

I didn't go back on birth control. I'm not sure if it's typical for others but it seems strange to me.
