Default Birth controll pills and PCOS

I am just curious here. I know very little about PCOS. (I had never heard about it untill I read an article in woman's day this month)which really surprises me since I am a nurse, it was never taught in nursing school.
But here is my question:
I am on atkin's and doing really well, but last month my endomitriosis came back and my doc put me on birth controll pills to see if they would help. Since then I have lost 7 lbs in 3 weeks, usually I lose about 5 a month.
I know PCOS is occassionally treated with BCP and that it PCOS can cause obesity...am I way out on a limb here to make this connection?It is the only thing I can find that has changed in the last few weeks(granted I am not complaining about the loss here!)Could my endomitriosis be masking PCOS and the pills helping?They certainly are not helping with the endomitriosis pain yet!
Thank you for any input on this!
