Hi,
I understand your query.
You have have two problems to tackle with PCOD, & to be free from menses while your husband is off duty & stays with you.
*To take primolute N monthly ,just to adjust your menses monthly is not recommended.Instead,
- Certain oral contraceptives are given to treat PCOD ( Diane 35)for 5to 6 cycles & try to stimulate ovulation following the treatment. Oral contraceptives can be adjusted & given regularly to plan your period when your husband is on duty.
* - Clomiphene citrate is given to stimulate ovulation, if there is no automatic regulisation of ovulation with oral contraceptives.
* - Laproscopic surgery & drilling operation is surgical treatment for PCOS
Thanks.
