On meds, How am I supposed to know?

in Trying to Get Pregnant
I started taking "Norethin Ace" last month because I have PCOS and we want to have a child. The problem is that If I am taking meds that force my body to cycle, other than taking a ept every week, how am I supposed to know if we are preg, or will it still stop ?

    Norethin Ace = birth control. It works by actaully preventing ovulation and making CM hostile to sperm.

    SOOOO, if you are trying to get pregnant with PCOS, norethin ace is not helping... at all.

    Have you talked to your doctor? I don't get how someone can think that taking a birth control pill helps you become pregnant?

     

    Edit: to add about prohibiting ovulation

    I don't understand how one thinks that taking something causing a "cycle" won't result in...well...a cycle unless you are pregnant.

    I know it sounds stupid, but that IS the medicine that my specialist gave to me. I told him that I have PCOS and that we want to get pg. This is what he put me on. I actually had no idea that it was supposed to be a form of birth control. This is the first time that I have had to go through this and I guess I assumed that since he knew the situation, he wouldn't give me a birth control. Guess I will be giving him a call first thing in the morning.
