Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question Meena.
In women with PCOD, they often have absent or irregular ovulation. Often they need progesterone to induce a period AND in your case, diabetes medication to treat the insulin resistance that comes with PCOD and affects your ability to ovulate. Also, you have the complication of a prior tubal pregnancy. Typically one might:
1. Use progesterone to induce a period (usually comes 2-3 days after stopping progesterone)
2. Continue with Glucophage
3. Consider a medication for ovulation induction, such as clomid
4. Track ovulation with an ovulation predictor kit
5. If no success within 3 months of regular cycles, then a procedure to assess your tubes to make sure that they are open and not diseased (given the prior ectopic pregnancy)
I hope that this helps and good luck!
