The combined oral contraceptive pill is often the most appropriate method for providing cycle control, assuming that conception is to be avoided. If oestrogen levels are satisfactory, regular withdrawal bleeds are likely to follow cyclical progestogen administration (Q5.12;
Q 24.17). When the patient is a young teenager, parents often feel happy with this rather than knowing that their daughter has started a contraceptive agent. Another option is the use of a cyclical HRT (Q 28. 9). Metformin should also be considered.
