hi..

they have done ovarian drilling, for PCOD..
metformin help in correction of insulin resistance which happens in PCOD..
folic acid is given as a prophylaxis to prevent neural tube defects in case you concieve now..
ovashield has clomiphene citrate which helps in ovulation induction.. lateron you have to go for follicular study from 10 day onwards..

Hi,
PCOD is a condition of an ovulation& infertility. The ovarian drilling is best treatment available. Following the procedure, chances of ovulation & conception increase.
Looking at your age & urgency to conceive your doctor has prescribed -
Metformin-to take care of insulin resistance .
Folic acid - to prevent congenital anomalies (including Spinabifida)
Ovaa shield DS - For ovulation induction
With all the possible aid being given, you would conceive in a couple of months.
Ovulation study or LH surge testing will give you hint about ovulation day . You have an unprotected sex at ovulation gives maximal chances of conception.
Wishing you all the best,
Thank you.
