    Author: Sánchez LA, Pérez M, Centeno I, David M, Kahi D, Gutierrez E.
    Journal: Fertil Steril; 2007 Mar; 87(3):712-4. PubMed ID: 17118366.
    Abstract:
    In this study, discontinuation of oral contraceptive pills in women with polycystic ovary syndrome was followed by the return of all measured androgens and sex hormone-binding globulin levels to basal values after 8 weeks. These observations are pertinent to the measurement of androgens and sex hormone-binding globulin levels in subjects who currently are taking oral contraceptive pills and have symptoms that are related to polycystic ovary syndrome.
