Hi,
I understand your concern.
PCOD is a condition with ovulation problem & irregular periods.
Duphaston is a hormone progesteron derivative which is used in early pregnancy to support pregnancy. But when given without pregnancy for few months as per doctor's advise- it acts to regulate irregular menses.
* It is also given in PCOd for consecutive three months , to regulate menses & also with a hope of spontaneous correction of ovulation following the course.
* It needs to be taken regularly at same time of day. Irregular taking may cause bleeding in between.
* Overweight is a common feature of PCOd. You have to try for reduction. As you reduce, there are all the chances that your ovulation will start normally.( persistent diet control/ exercises/ metformin pills( Glyciphage) with your doctor's advise would help in reduction.)
Thanks.
