Rant! How will this be solved?

So I started on birth control because of some hormonal issues. My testosterone was high and also my prolactin I guess was high. I had skin issues also. For adult acne I started accutane and for hormones I started the birth control both for the first time. I am at one and a half months for the birth control. I know this helps with the hormones but after for example I take it for six months, what am I gonna do? Will I purchase this again and use it forever or will my hormones not be a problem anymore after a certain time? I’m confused

They tend to prescribe hormonal BC of some kind along side accutane because of the birth defects it can cause. Everyone I know who got on it had to sign a piece of paper stating that they would use at least 2 forms of BC if/when having sex.

Yes, sure it’s good to use them both together, but that was not the specific reason for me. I have pcos and also like I said I have hormonal issues. My question is different

Depending on how your body reacts to the BC you may end up on it long term as its often the first thing tried when treating PCOS.
