Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am married and 26 years old. We are trying for a baby. I took treatment for PCOD and having Normoz tablets for the last three months. But my period is still irregular. So I am confused about my ovulation and fertile day. Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your query.

Normoz (Myo-inositol, D-Chiro-inositol, Chromium picolinate, and vitamin D2) is given to PCOD (polycystic ovarian syndrome) patients to help in ovulation and to reduce the symptoms of PCOD. You can have oral contraceptive pills for two to three months only to regulate cycles. But as you have mentioned dates, it is not too irregular really. You can have sex on alternate days from day 8 to day 19 of the cycle for conception. As COCP (combined oral contraceptive pill) also has its side effects, PCOD patients with disturbed hormones can respond unpredictably to extra hormones. So it is your choice, but I think an alternate activity is the better choice for you.

Have some precautions with some healthy self-interventions and be positive. Continue 0.4 mg folic acid daily and Normoz. Have daily walks and exercise to have a balanced weight. A healthy balanced diet with low salt, sugar, and oil. Have sex on alternate days from day 8 to day 17 or 18. If you want COCP to regulate the cycle, you should have it for two to three months. It is not confirmed that you will have regular cycles as sometimes the body responds unpredictably to foreign hormones and gives side effects more like irregular bleeding, mood variations, etc.

I hope you get my point.

Best of luck.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
