Hello,

First, you need to regularize your period with above medication for getting timely ovulation. It should be continued for at least 3-6 cycles.

Duoluton is combined OCP. On using it, only period will be regularize but conception does not takes place.

For planning baby, you need to stop above medication after completing the course to regain fertility. You need to do unprotected sex around ovulation time or fertile days to maximize the chance of pregnancy. Using ovulation prediction kit is also helpful.

Further, you may take progesterone pill only from D16-D25 if you again get irregular period. Though, it will not interfere with conception.

For PCOS, you need to take low carbohydrate diet with folic acid supplement and control body wt by regular exercise.

Good luck.

Hi, Thanks for using HCM.

Duoluton contains hormones to regularize your cycle and also to prevent any PID, abnormal bleeding. The drug is given in cycle so as to simulate normal cycle. And if taken for 3 cycles no major problem will occur and you can get your normal cycle back and can be pregnant. Read the leaflet of drug information for all details once on how to take and for precautions. Consult your doctor for examination and management.
Hope I answered your question. Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries.
Wish you good health. Take care.

Regards
Dr. Lohit
