combined contraceptive pill aged 34

Hi everyone, I'd just like to ask a question regarding the combined contraceptive pill, I'm 34 years old and haven't received treatment for my pcos, I've been dismissed by a few doctors I've seen over the last 10 years which unfortunately seems to be a common problem reading other posts on this forum. I'm going to give it another go at seeing another gp at my surgery and just wondered what my chances might be of being prescribed the contraceptive pill due to my age, I've never been offered it before and was unaware that it's an option as a treatment to manage some physical pcos symptoms.

Thank you for reading & sorry for the long post!☺️

I am 32 and I was on the contraceptive pill before ttc so I think as long as your weight and blood pressure are ok, they prescribe it x

I am nearly 49 and still on the combined pill - it does depend on weight and blood pressure though which both of mine are ok (BMI is 30) - Ive been on and off it for 25+ years and it masks all the symptoms so I will stay on it as long as I can!!
