Hi,
Thanks for your query.
No you should not stop the medication now because these medicines are effective in controlling PCOS also and helping in regulating your ovulation and menstruation also.
You should immediately consult a gynecologist when your period is delayed to rule out pregnancy and stop medication also.
You should start taking folvite also.
Take care.
