I have PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome), and have been on a birth control pill for over a year to regulate my menstrual cycle & to hopefully keep the cysts small or non-existent. My insurance doesn't cover the birth control pills, and they cost around $50 a month. Are there any other meds out there to treat PCOS that my insurance might cover?

Have your Doctor write a letter of exception to cover the cost of pills otherwise go to planned parenthood they will supply at a decreased cost also r u on glucophage??this helps with the increased wt gain due to insulin resistance assoc. with PCOS

Yes, Meformin ER helps with the insulin resistance and helps to lower testosterone levels.
Over the counter USP progesterone cream can help with PCOS as well
