17f, 5'7, 135, Caucasian, irregular/non existent periods (I have had one period that lasted around 3 days of heavy bleeding and cramps about 2 years ago),

I recently went to the doctor to follow up about not menstrating, and after blood tests/ultrasounds It turns out I have low progesterone and high testosterone (normal estrogen). I don't really have any negative symptoms and frankly feel like I am doing well health wise but my doctor is adamant that we should induce my period through birth control. I am hesitant because I have heard so many horror stories about birth control and don't want to mess up my health. I am aware that mensuration is a necessary evil but I would love to hear any other opinions or experience people have with this.
