Manage PCOS w/o birth control.. possible?

Jessica

Hey ladies! I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 17, currently 25. I've been on birth control since my initial diagnosis, but recently went off of it after having to switch brands a few times due to insurance changing their coverages and dealing with the anxiety and mood swings that came with having to switch brands. Wondering if anyone else is taking a less medicated approach? Also planning for kids in the next few years so I just wanna prepare for that as well. I still take my metformin and spironolactone, but I just don't wanna go back on bc after dealing with the mood swings and weight gain that I dealt with before. Currently dieting and trying to be healthier so it helps with all the symptoms....

Hoping to get an insight?
