Will Primolut Affect Ovulation And Change Cycle Days?

Hello Doctor,

I had regular periods till march 1st by taking metformin 500 mg/per day for hormonal imbalance.But march 15th i had mid cycle bleeding for 2-3 days.So my gyneo put me on 21 days course of primolut-n.After stopping that tablet i got my periods within 4-5 days i.e april 8th i got my period.
Today is may 12th till i dind get my periods.but for the past 10 days i am having milky white discharge.
My doubt is could i be pregnant or my periods cycle is varied?
Will primolut affect my ovulation and change my cycle days? Before having that my cycle was regular ( 28-30 days)

Hi and thanks for the query,
Its important to note that Primolut is a hormone. the process of menstruation is controlled by hormones. Administration of primolut therefore can alter the process of menstruation in the body. The cycle might be altered to some degree, and doing an accurate prediction of ovulation might be very difficult.
Regularizing a menstrual cycle using primolut does not most of the time yield immediate effects. this could require up to 3 months, thus patience when on treatment to regularize menstrual cycle could take time and should be therefore be an important consideration. This could even take up to three months in some cases. Persistence of symptoms, unwanted effects or failure to obtain required effects however should stir you to consult your gynecologist.
Thanks and best regards,
