Brief Answer: Take progesterones for withdrawl Detailed Answer: Hi. Welcome to HCM. You are having PCOS and obesity also. Usually pcos people who are obese can shed weight with difficulty. Your Obimet is for insulin resistance and Ostat for reducing the wt. and dose as per your treating dr. You took tab. Sysron-N for 5 days earlier alse before your periods for withdrawl. So, do you get irregular and prolonged cycles earlier also due to pcos. If so, then I will advise you to first rule out pregnancy before taking any medicine and if negative then again a hormonal withdrawl after consulting your gynecologist. After that, take regular course of pills containing cyproterone acetate for 21 days and get regular periods. PCOS is a problem of hormonal imbalance. Thanks.

Brief Answer: Medical termination and treatment for Pcos Detailed Answer: Hi XXXXXXX I also feel there will not be any pregnancy, but if it happens then you can take the advise of your gynecologist for medical termination of pregnancy For PCOS, get your hormonal profile done on day 2 of your cycle once you get withdrawl bleeding. You need to be put on hormones for regular withdrawl bleeding, in order to avoid endometrial hyperplasia. Your treating dr. will be the best judge for selecting this. Also, weight reduction with diet control is the first line management of PCOS, on which you are already working upon.You may increase the dose of Obimet. Another treatment for PCOS is laparoscopic drilling of ovaries ,but usually undertaken by those who fail to conceive and in your case you don't want pregnancy. Check your thyroid status also .another reason for irregular periods. Thanks.

I have forgot to tell that i took sysron n tab once daily from 26-01-2014 to 04-02-2014. Is this medicine can post pone the periods time? when I started to take this I had very very light bleeding. After finishing the medicine few days later same thing was happened at a time only. Is there any problem for that?

Brief Answer: Sysron N can postpone periods. Detailed Answer: Hi XXXXXXX Since you are having irregular periods so the first time you took the medicine you already had bleeding, although light.Bot then you took SysronN for 10 days which stopped that light bleeding also and postponed your menses and after stopping the medicine again you had bleeding at a time only .Once daily dose is too less for you so no proper withdrawl. I will advise you to get your pelvic scan done once and I feel no pregnancy and nothing of the sort. You already had your periods, very light. If all well Start new pack of pills as advised by your dr. and plan for hormonal profile next cycle. Thanks.
