In a woman with PCO not seeking pregnancy, the Birth Control pill has important benefits. The pill (and other hormonal birth control methods) lower the risk of cancer of the ovary and of the endometrium (lining of the uterus). Women with PCO are at increased risk for cancer of the endometrium, so lowering this risk is important. The birth control pill may also help somewhat with acne or excess hair that may go along with PCO. Other treatments are available as well, and some of the alternatives can also be used for women with PCO who are trying to conceive. Talk with your primary care, women's health, or endocrinology health care provider to discuss options that make sense for your situation.

Most women with polycystic ovary syndrome are able to get pregnant without treatment. Women with PCOS not seeking pregnancy should take steps to avoid it. When you're ready to be pregnant, if you've been trying without birth control for more than 6 months, you should contact your health care provider.

Yes, but depending on how advanced the condition is, it could be much more difficult.
