Hello there,
Thank you for your question.
The medicine you were given was to induce ovulation. It works at a particular time in the menstrual cycle.It should be taken between 3-5th day of the cycle for 5 days. It may not be effective if taken in the later part of the cycle. So I suggest be careful in the next cycle and do not forget to take the medicine as advised. However do continue intercourse as many PCOS patients have stray ovulations and you may never know if this cycle you have ovulated or not.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
