What birth control works best with PCOS?

Question

I have PCOS and have a son that’s over a year old. I have always been afraid of birth control because I heard it can mess up PCOS worse once you get off of it. I’m a full time student and work full time as well so my husband and I want to wait until after I graduate college and get established at a job in my field before trying for another baby. I graduate in spring 2025 so it can be a long term one of those work better for PCOS

Answer

I have PCOS and used the patch with no issues. I conceived my first two children the first cycle trying with both. My last baby was a complete accident. So birth control hasn’t negatively affected my fertility. We’re done having children and I’m getting back on the patch. That being said everyone is different and your experience may be different. No way to tell until you cross that bridge.

Answer

Everyone’s body reacts differently to each birth control. So, u need to discuss this with ur doctor.
