Contraceptive pills to regulate period and conceive ?

Posted by akcmohan8 @akcmohan8, Sep 2, 2020

Dear all,
I have been married for 5 years and have PCOS and irregular periods. Miscarried two years back. My gynecologist is suggesting to use contraceptive pills for 3 months to regulate the period and then try naturally. Is it safe to use them or they have long term side effects on the body. Kindly advise.

Thanks,
Chan
