Apparently, the type of bc pills you take makes a difference for those with PCOS. Those of you on bc pills may want to take note.

Tri-phasic pills may make TOM and PCOS symptoms worse, whereas mono-phasics seem to work best for PCOS sufferers.

The mono-phasic pills don't change dosages throughout the month; triphasic do (usually represented by 3 different colours of pills in a pack).

I'm currently on a tri-phasic (Tri-cyclen) and having a lot of problems. I plan on switching to a monophasic (perhaps Allesse).

I got this info from a great PCOS site--click on the link below if you want to check it out. They have many great research articles.

Ciao.
