if your trying to grt pregnant no gyno would recomend birth control pills.most want to perform blood test and an ultra sound to get to the underlying factor why your menstrual cycle is not normal ...thus you do not ovulate . If you have a common factor pcos they might even start you off with metaformin ...the first step to fertility drugs is clomid ....also one of the cheapest ..50 mg a day from days 5-9 is normal to start off with .Provera would be used to bring on your period by the way . If this is not succesful ( as clomid can also effect your fertile mucus they will then go on and try injectables like gonal !!!
To get more info I would suggest forums like thw one below in the link ...these women have experience the same issues !!! and gone through all types of the treatments..
good luck

1. What is Clomid?
Clomid is a fertility drug. Its chemical name is Clomiphene Citrate, and Clomid is sometimes also referred to as Serophene. These are all the same drug. It is used to treat women who have an ovulation problem by stimulating the ovaries to mature an egg.
Clomid works by suppressing the amount of naturally circulating estrogen and "tricks" the pituitary into producing more follicular stimulating hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing hormone (LH). These natural gonadotropic hormones (FSH and LH) then stimulate the ovaries to ripen a follicle and to extrude an ovum (egg).
Clomid can interfere with the ability of the cervical mucus glands to be stimulated by estrogen to produce fertile mucus. Only "hostile" or dry cervical mucus may develop in the days preceding ovulation. Robitussin may help to improve the cervical mucus.
The most common side effects are hot flashes due to the body's hormone levels and a mild headache. The headache usually disappears once the last pill is taken, and the hot flashes once ovulation has occurred. Visual symptoms such as spots, flashes or blurry vision are less common and indicate that treatment should stop.
Clomid is a low-level fertility drug. The chances of a multiple birth (twins) increase only by 10% while taking Clomid
Other Fertility Procedures/Treatments
Sperm Analysis (SA) - An analysis of the man's sperm is usually the first step in diagnosis when a couple has been unable to conceive after a period of time. It is recommended that the man abstain from intercourse and alcohol for 48 hrs. prior to the SA. Once the sperm is collected, then it is analyzed for mobility, motility and count.
Hysterosalpingogram(HSG) - HSG is performed to determine if any blockages are present in a woman's fallopian tubes. It is a simple procedure and takes about 15 minutes to complete. To conduct an HSG, the doctor will place a clamp on the woman's cervix, and then shoot a radiologic dye solution into the tubes. The dye allows the doctor to see if there are any blockages and X-rays are taken at that time. The side effects from an HSG are minimal and include menstrual-like cramping. It is recommended to take Tylenol or Ibuprofen before the procedure to minimize the cramping.
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) - IUIs are commonly recommended for the treatment of sperm antibodies or when it has been determined that the woman's cervical mucous (CM) is a “hostile environment” for the manes sperm. The sperm are washed in a process where the semen is mixed with a culture media in a test tube and then rapidly spun. The sperm is then placed directly into the woman's uterus during ovulation.
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) - This procedure is most commonly recommended in instances where it has been determined that the woman's fallopian tubes are blocked and/or when IUI has proved unsuccessful. An IVF involves the removal of several eggs from the woman's ovaries and then fertilizing them with the males sperm in a petri dish. The 2-day old embryo is then placed in the woman's uterus.
*****************************************************************
PROVERA
Provera is derived from the female hormone progesterone. You may be given Provera if your menstrual periods have stopped or a female hormone imbalance is causing your uterus to bleed abnormally. Provera is also prescribed to prevent abnormal growth of the uterine lining in women taking estrogen replacement therapy.
Other forms of medroxyprogesterone, such as Depo-Provera, are used as a contraceptive injection and prescribed in the treatment of endometrial cancer.
Some doctors prescribe Provera to treat endometriosis, menopausal symptoms, premenstrual tension, sexual aggressive behavior in men, and sleep apnea (temporary failure to breath while sleeping).
What side effects may occur?
Acne, anaphylaxis (life-threatening allergic reaction), blood clot in a vein lungs, or brain, breakthrough bleeding (between menstrual periods), breast tenderness or sudden or excessive flow of milk, cervical erosion or changes in secretions, depression, excessive growth of hair, fever, fluid retention, hair loss, headache, hives, insomnia, itching, lack of menstruation, menstrual flow changes, spotting, nausea, rash, skin discoloration, sleepiness, weight gain or loss, yellowed eyes and skin.

The doctor may prescribe birth control pills however if you're trying to conceive that won't be an option. You may have a hormone imbalance that doesn't allow you to ovulate properly. There are a number of fertility drugs but your doctor will know what's best probably after doing some blood work. Good luck.

Some type of birth control pill would help regulate your cycles.
Okay now that you clarified that you are trying to get pregnant they will probably try Clomid to get you to ovulate and hope that regulates your cycle.
