Hello ma'am and welcome.

The cause for your irregularity is not the medication you are on but in fact due to the two conditions you have been diagnosed with, namely PCOD and hypothyroidism.

The medications are only going to help with regularization of your menstrual cycle.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
