Thanks for your responses ladies.

I just want to emphasise that my Gyno actually said that I might not have full PCOS because my hormones are ok, and that I might just have PCO. I know there is a difference.

Also, I was on the pill for about a year and came off about a year ago because I hated how I felt on the pill... it was not nice at all (moody, irrational, dehydrated, headaches).

So i've gone on the pill now to stop the mid-cycle bleeding. So far ive gone through one pill cycle and i DID have spotting - which apparently is normal when you first start the pill. So fingers crossed for this month.

In 2 months when I do come off the pill, and bearing in mind i might not have full PCOS, would your advice still be the same?

Perhaps I should wait a few months and use condoms before we start trying.

I have already started taking folate tablets!!! So i'm prepared in that aspect.

So much to think about...
