Brief Answer:
Were hormone levels checked?

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for follow up.

Since there has been delay of 3 months, were investigations done to determine the cause prior starting the treatment?

I am particularly worried about PCOD in your case.In PCOD periods may get delayed or become irregular.

I would suggest to get a ultrasound of uterus and ovaries done.Also get your hormonal levels checked.

May be due to underlying cause medicine has failed to show results.

White discharge if not associated with burning sensation, it could be normal mucus secretion.If there are associated symptoms then it can be vaginial infection.But this does not generally cause delay in periods, so its unrelated.

I would suggest you to go ahead with investigations first , than rather empirically treating this without knowing underlying cause.

Hope this helps.Please ask if there are doubts.Regards.
