General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi & Welcome to HCM.
I can understand your concern.

Yes Primolut N (Norethisterone) is safe and effective in the treatment of PCOD to regularize the menstrual cycles. It should be used long time for about 6 months mainly in second half of cycle to regularize the period. So do not worry, you are on right treatment.

You need to consult a gynecologist and go for following lab tests that help in management of case:
Reproductive hormone analysis: LH, FSH, prolactin, E2, Progestreone, Testosterone and DHEAS, USG scan, ovarian follicle study, blood glucose, insulin and lipid profile.

Your doctor may also prescribe Metformin along with Primolut-N to maintain glucose homeostasis, increase insulin sensitivity and induce ovulation.

Hope this answers your query.
Best wishes.
A feedback is appreciated.
