Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
PCOS is characterized by hormonal imbalance.
The ovulation and periods are irregular in this condition.
Krimson is an oral contraceptive given to regulate cycles.
Glycomet contains Metformin that helps to regulate symptoms
If you are overweight, weight loss is critical.
The hair growth, pigmentation etc are typical of PCOS.
THere is no guarantee that they will resolve after conception or pregnancy.
You need cosmetic help for the hair growth.
Take care.
