I am a woman with PCOS/PMOS on Diane. How soon will periods come?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Diane-35 (Ethinylestradiol and Cyproterone) is taken for 21 consecutive days with seven days off. The next cycle is started after seven days off on the eighth day, irrespective of the periods. Though in the majority of cases there are periods in those seven days, there may not be periods. Hope your other investigations, mainly CBC (complete blood count), blood sugar, TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone), and Prolactin, are normal.
