Did Ovofar delay my periods?
Patient: hi I m trying to conceive and my gynec priscribed me ovofar 50 mg 1st cycle I took it from 3rd to 7th day and I got my period in 22 days, then I took ovofar again from 3rd to 7th day and this time its 37 days and cant see any signs of periods and home upt tests are negative.(took 3 tests in last 5 days) latest one was few hrs back. I am having crams since last 1 week (which I usually get 1 day before my periods or during 1st and 2nd day ) not constant or everyday but randomly. can taking ovofar delayed period? or affect upt? please guide I m confused Doctor: Hi there,,The symptoms irregular periods sometime short sometimes long is more due to an-ovulation, due to hormonal imbalances.The ovofar is to correct that. You probably have PCOS, which is causing the irregular cycles and which is why the doctor has prescribed you the ovafor.You need to first get completely evaluated for PCOS before proceeding with the treatment.I would advise you to get the blood tests such as FSH,LH, TSH and prolactin done. These will help determine if the cause of irregular cycle and infertility is them.You also need to do ultrasound pelvis to check for problem is in ovary and womb.Your partners semen analysis is also necessary to get a complete picture.Kindly do the above tests and discuss with your gyanecologist.If PCOS is diagnosed by blood tests and ultrasound, medications such as metformin need to be started.Hope this helps.Regards.
