Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Treatment for 'polycystic ovary disease' (PCOD) focuses on management infertility caused due to irregular periods and ovulation.
The following things needs to be done to overcome most of your problems.
1. Lifestyle changes by weight loss through a low-calorie diet combined with moderate exercise.
2. Regulation of menstrual cycle by use of estrogen and progestin combined birth control pills.
3. Regulation of ovulation and menstrual cycle by taking oral hypoglycemic drug metformin.
4. Induction of ovulation by administration of clomiphene, if necessary.
5. Reduce excessive hair growth by birth control pills to decrease androgen production or by another medication called spironolactone.
With these medications, it should help you to improve the chances of conception.
It takes a few cycles after initiating treatment and regular follow-up to conceive and hence you need to be patient.
Kindly follow-up and take the medications as suggested by your consulting doctor.
Hope the information provided would helpful.
All the best.
