Hi Abrar,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.

PCOD is nothing but 'Poly Cystic Ovarian Disease'. This conditionwould cause irregular menstrual periods, for which it makes difficult to conceive. Irregular menstrual periods will not only affect ovulation but also hampers preparation of uterus for implantation.

The main stay of treatment for PCOD is as follows:
1. Weight Reduction through a low-calorie diet combined with moderate exercise activities.
2. Regular periods by use of combined birth control pills — pills that contain both estrogen and progestin.
3. Helping to ovulate through metformin and clomifen.
4. Reduction of excessive hair growth by spironolactone.

What the doctor has prescribed you is proper, and it will help you to regulate your period and have timely ovulation.
Hope the information provided is useful.
All the best.
