Brief Answer:
Insulin resistance

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
These are the symptoms of PCOS and are unlikely to be the side effects of the drug ovagrace plus.
Since PCOS is due to insulin resistance, it can lead to increased apetite and weight gain.
Hair growth on face is also a feature of PCOS.
I will suggest you to get an oral glucose tolerance test with 75 gm glucose to confirm the insulin resistance so that further treatment can be modified accordingly.
Pain during periods is indicative of the fact that the cycles are ovulatory and that is a good sign in PCOS.
You can take meftal spas for pain relief.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Please get back to me with the reports.

Better tests to assess the insulin resistance

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have reviewed the report.
It is normal.
However, Oral glucose tolerance test and serum insulin levels are better tests to assess the insulin resistance.
