Hello ma'am.

Treatment of PCOS can be tricky at times. Oral contraceptives have proved to help regularize the menstrual cycle, but can have their various side effects in the long run.

The new medications might take time to show their effect, which is why I advice you to wait for at least 2-3 months for them to show an improvement in your menstrual cycle.

Another very effective medication is metformin, tou could consider this as a back up if the current medications fail to help.

In the meantime, if you are overweight I would recommend you to lose weight, but at the sametime not got about any strenuous exercise.

Hope this helps.

Take care.
