General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for writing to HCM.
Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) is known to be associated with irregular menstrual period.
Regestrone contains norethindrone, which is a synthetic oral progestin. It is used for the treatment of secondary amenorrhea.
Since you have taken the drug for 5 days as advised, you need to stop it. You should get your periods in 3 to 5 days time.
Hope the information provided would be useful.
All the best.
