HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Ginette 35 has different uses. It can be used for contraception, for acne and also for PCOS.

If you are trying to conceive then it would prevent pregnancy because of its contraceptive effect.
It contains an estrogen and an anti androgen (works against androgens).

It helps in PCOS because of this anti androgen effect, PCOS is associated with high levels of androgens.

You may need to use an alternative if you are trying to conceive. Weight loss of any excess weight, metformin and the use of medication to help with ovulation may be the better options.

Weight loss has been shown to help with PCOS as has the use of metformin.
I hope this helps
