Suggest Medication To Regulate The Menstrual Cycle In A Woman With PCOS

Hi I am 26 years old and have been diagnosed with PCOS since I was a teenager and was given progyluton to regulate it and it never regulated and it comes only once or twice a year. I ve been married for 4 years now and is trying to get pregnant using metformin and clomid and it didn t help. Recently I ve stopped taking metformin and my periods been coming in long cycles but at least it came for 4 months straight, I m praying that it comes and regulates itself without the use of harmful medication like metformin which gives me an over reactive bladder and also I want to get pregnant. My question is given the history of my medical condition, what safe medication besides metformin can I use to help regulate and ovulate in order to conceive and become pregnant? Is progyluton a good option? Thank you.

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I have read your description and understand your concern.
Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) is a treatable disorder caused due to alteration in hormones leading to irregular menstruation and untimely ovulation, resulting in infertility.
You need to be treated for getting your cycles regular by use of medications like birth control pills. Progyluton is a low-dose hormone medication that is often used to regulate the menstrual cycle. The medication is a combination of estrogen and progesterone but in low doses and hence, it cannot be used as a contraceptive.
Along with it, you may also need supplementation of ovulation inducing drugs like metformin and clomifine.
You need to reduce weight by means of intake low calorie foods and regular moderate exercise.
Kindly get a regular follow-up done with your doctor and follow advise accordingly.
Have patience as it may take some time for you to ovulate timely to improve the chances of conceiving.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
