Can PCOD Cause Irregular Menstruation?

default
Posted on Wed, 24 May 2017
Question: Hi
I am suffering from PCOD, plus i underwent 9 months treatment for Genital TB, which just got over in march. From XXXXXXX to March, i also took Krimson 35 for hormones regulation. After that my doc started with pregnency meds in April. She gave me goodova 50mg, follic acid tablets and carnimed plus (30 days). I had cramps around 20-24th day of my last period. I am also experiencing thin white watery discharge. My period was due on 2nd May. But no signs till now. Also i had a clear gel like discharge today. What does this indicate. Are these signs of periods or i can expect pregnancy.
However, in my case, its kind of impossible, to just have it so easily. But i am just too curious as i dont want to undergo any ovulation studies anymore, as it is very painful and frustating.

thanks
XXXXXXX

I am also experiencing stomach pain every now and then since 10 days. Dont know whether they are cramps before periods or what.

Thanks Doctor. I hope for the best this time.
Still I have some queries :
Could PCOS be also the reason for missed periods. I never used to have regular periods. Only when i started taking medicines, i used to have them on time or before time, but never missed one day even while on medicines.

I also took goodOva 100mg with hcg shot for good ovulation in one cycle before i started the course for krismson 35. But that time, it didnt help.
So m little doubtful here, could 50mg be effective now. And that too without any hcg shot or any supplements for egg growth.

Also, the symptoms i have listed in my first questions are more or less like periods only. Are there any peculiar symptoms from above which hints to pregnancy.

Please help here.

Thanks a ton

Brief Answer:
Not specific for pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
Your symptoms are very non specific and can be due to pills or pregnancy so pregnancy test can only differentiate between them
Yes the delay can be due to PCOD and it will not get cured by krimson 35
You need to reduce weight to control PCOD
Taking clomephene citrate whether 50 or 100 alone without regular ultrasound to look for ovulation is a waste
So I my opinion visit a good infertility specialist and you can discuss your treatment with me as well since I specialise in infertility
