Hi, Ovral L is a contraceptive and is given to treat pco. But you can't conceive while using this medicine. So, you can take ovral for 3 months and then stop it if you want pregnancy. The problem in pcod is ovulation, so you can track your follicles growth by repeated ultrasound and see if rupture of follicles is occurring or not. If your follicles are not growing or not rupturing, then you have to take medicines like clomiphene for that. Discuss with your doctor regarding this. The headache , dizziness and nausea are side effects of ovral. So don't worry about it. Have a healthy diet. You can do any type of weight reducing exercises, brisk walking can be one of them. Hope I have answered your question.
