Question: Hi, my wife is on 'Lynestrenol' for 7 days. She has PCOD. She takes Melatonin 3mg every day at night for sleeping aid. As Melatonin is a hormone, I would like to know if it can cause any harm to Lynestrenol or does it have any bad effect if you are trying pregnancy or Ovulation Induction like Letrozole. Looking forward. Thanks.

Brief Answer:
no harm

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

lynestrenol is not supposed to be affected by melatonin use. Melatonin has not been studied extensively enough to answer the rest of your questions with confidence. Since its effect on pregnancy is unknown, women who try to become pregnant had better avoid using it.

Kind Regards!
