Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
For PCOS, the glycomet is prescribed to increase sensitivity to insulin and to decrease the weight gain associated with PCOD. Regesterone is a hormonal tablet which has been given to regularize your periods. This is not a contraceptive pill but if taken all throughout the cycle decreases the chances of ovulation and thus pregnancy.
Doing unprotected intercourse has lesser chances of conception but it is best to use a regular contraceptive pill which has a better protection.
Ovatar tablets are used to induce ovulation and to increase your chances of conception. You should not take these tablets if you are not planning for a pregnancy now.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
