HI,
I understand your concern.
Both the drugs you are taking act at the root cause , improve insulin resistance/ reduce androgen levels .. which in turn improve FHS/ LH ratio i cause improved ovulation & normal menstrual cycles. So it's a comparitively slower process.. you have started the medicines just a month ago, so the delay in periods is likely to be due to the PCOD you have.. which will need it's own time to recover.
Thanks.
