Hello
PCOD ( Poly Cystic Ovarian Disease or Syndrome ) .
Let me explain ,what is and how occurs PCOD.
Cysts are often caused by hormone changes . Most common symptoms are irregular menstrual cycle, scanty menses , amenorrhea, ovarian stroma , hirsutism, acne, obesity .
Using birth control pills can sometimes help regulate hormone levels so that the cysts can be taken care of.
In your case previously ,your doctor advise novelon and after this FEMILON .
Your gyne will likely want you to come back after you have been on the femilon to see if the cyst is gone.
At that time the doctor may suggest you stop using medication or ,IF INDICATED , you may need to continue it for a bit LONGER ( as may be in your case but you stopped much earlier ) .
Once you stop the femlon ,as long as there are no medical concerns, you should not have problems with future conception.
I want to tell you that many women will use birth control pills for purposes other than preventing pregnancy.
Then they stop taking them when they want to conceive .
So in your case your had taken treatment BUT INCOMPLETE , so I suggest you ,please take complete treatment .
This is most standard treatment for PCOD cases.
Hope this will be useful for you.
Good luck.
I find this answer helpful
