Brief Answer: Possibility of polycystic ovarian syndrome Detailed Answer: Hello, Thanks for posting your query on HealthCareMagic. You have mentioned that you have a history of irregular periods. Delayed menstrual cycles are expected in background of history of irregular periods. Your doctor has prescribed you progesterone. Progesterone is the hormone which will start your periods. However, the periods are occurring only after taking hormonal treatment. Another thing that you have mentioned is presence of 'multifollicular' ovary. With a history of irregular periods, multifollicular ovary, and absence of ovulation there is possibility of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Polycystic ovaries is a condition in which the ovaries do not release egg in each cycle because the follicles do not mature to release egg. Due to inability of the follicles to mature, no egg is released and thus conceiving becomes difficult. Before taking any medication, you need to get appropriate investigations to confirm/rule out polycystic ovaries. FSH/LH ratio, serum levels of testosterone and insulin levels are some of the tests which are done for polycystic ovarian disease. You need to consult your gynecologist for prescription of these tests. If the disease turns out to be PCOS, very effective treatment is available for this condition. If you have more queries, I will be glad to answer. Dr Shailja P Wahal

Brief Answer: Kindly, re-read the answer given previously Detailed Answer: Hello and welcome again, The hormonal preparation that you have been prescribed is progesterone. The progesterone helps to regularize the menstrual cycle but it does not help to release egg. Food will also not help in releasing the ovum/egg. The drugs for stimulation of ovulation are different and they are prescribed when it is proven that there is some problem in release of ovum e.g. PCOS. Kindly, re-read the answer given before. There is possibility of PCOS. Consult your gynecologist for investigation to rule out or diagnose this condition. Appropriate treatment can only be given when diagnosis is confirmed. Thanks and take care Dr Shailja P Wahal
