In theory, low estrogen pills AREN'T good for PCOS. Higher amounts of estrogen (lower androgens) are better for women with high testosterone levels.
HOWEVER, take that with a grain of salt. I had extremely high testosterone, lots of really bad PCOS symptoms, and was put on Loestrin 24 FE. I loved that pill. All my neck acne disappeared, I lost weight, I felt great. Moods were wonderful! I felt like everything that was wrong had been fixed!
I went off of it went my sample packs ran out because I am not in a place to be spending $60+ a month for 1 pack. My insurance only covers generics.
Now I am on Tri-Sprintec. It hasn't cleared up my acne like Loestrin but it's keeping the period problems at bay, so I'll take it! But I would be back on loestrin if I could afford it.
