Also, can I get pregnant while taking loette? Can u please explain me the purpose of telling loette asking with metfotmin while trying to conceive
Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. I understand your concern. Loette is a combined hormonal contraceptive pill. It contains Levonorgestrel and Ethinyloestradiol. Loette is unique to oral contraceptive preparations in that it has low doses of both the hormones. It helps to regularize your periods. It is combined with metformin as this medication decreases the insulin resistance and helps in timely ovulation. Such combination of drugs are given to treat irregular periods caused commonly due to polycystic ovarian disease (PCOD), which would cause difficulty in conceiving. So, once your cycles become regular and ovulation occurs in time, it should improve the chances of conceiving. Hence, kindly follow the treatment protocol what your doctor has advised. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.
