Question: Hi Doc,
I have irregular periods and an existing PCOS symptom due to stressful work life. We have been trying for a baby since 3years now. I recently saw a gyn and she prescribed ovacet tablets. Can you please suggest if this tablet alone will solve my problem and see a positive pregnancy or is there other medication required too.

Brief Answer:
OVACET IS QUITE HELPFUL TO TREAT PCOS.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a most common endocrine disorder among reproductive age group women. It is associated with hormonal imbalance and improper ovulation, leads to irregular period & infertility to some extent.
If PCOS and irregular cycle are the only your concern, then you can take OVACET as per your doctor's prescription or at least 3-6 months. It contains Myoinositol, L-methyl Folate, Calcium and Vitamin D3 as ingredients which acts by triggering ovulation to regularize period. It is a supportive drug to facilitate your chance of conception.
In addition, ovulation should be monitored in each cycle through serial follicular study (D12-D16 in regular cycle) or you can use ovulation prediction kit (LH kit) in the mid-cycle. You should involve in unprotected sex close to ovulation time (14 days prior to due date) or fertile days (D12-D18 of 28-30 days cycle) to maximize the chance of pregnancy.
However, if you fail to conceive with above medicine within 6 months, I would treat you in following way.
1) For regular cycle and proper ovulation, I prefer progesterone pill (D16 to D25) and ovulation induction drug (like clomephene) from D2 to D6. Metformin may be needed in case of insulin resistance. Kindly, procure a complete prescription from your gynecologist.
2) You have to undergo some other fertility tests like husband semen analysis, test for tubal patency and cervical factors, D-21 progesterone hormone assay, blood sugar & prolactin level test etc.
3) You must take a healthy balanced diet with more fresh fruits and vegetables. Low carbohydrate diet is preferable. Take vitamin-E and folic acid supplements for 3 months in preconception period and there after.
4) Do light exercise for physical fitness and avoid mental stress completely by regular meditation or yoga. Maintain a healthy life style.
Hope, above information is quite helpful for you. If you need any clarification, you can freely ask me.
Wish your good health and take care yourself.
