Hi I think in PCO patients, there is absence of ovulation which leads to delayed periods. You have taken progesterone for inducing periods. It can take 10 to 14 days for periods to come after stopping the tablet. If periods don't come after that, you can take a combination of oestrogen and progesterone for inducing periods. Get a thyroid profile and prolactin level done. If you want to get pregnant, you can try ovulation induction with timed intercourse. Talk to your doctor regarding this. Hope it helps.
