I am not overweight and I look normal. Doctor: Hallow Dear,To start with, let me discuss about the medicines you have been prescribed. Registrone is a retroprogestational medicine which helps controlling the excessive bleeding or inducing the withdrawal bleeding when taken for short period. If taken continually cyclically, it helps regularising the menses without affecting the ovulation.  Folinz tablets are tablets of Folic Acid and Zinc. They help the healthy growth of the tissues. Siocare Syrup is an Ayurvedic medicine which is used for the treatment of Menstrual problems, Bleeding Gynaecological conditions, Reproductive system problems, Bleeding disorders, Diarrhoea, Eye disorders and other conditions. Siocare Syrup contains Ashwagandha, Asoka, Chandan, Daruharidra, Dashmoola, Dhataki, Guduchi, Jeeraka, Lodhra, Musta, Shatavari, and Udumbara as active ingredients. Now let us turn to your main issue of fertility and the irregular menstruation. By and large, the women with irregular menstruation are known to face problems in egg release; however, it is not a rule. If you are overweight also, having hairiness at the unwanted places of the body along with irregular menses, please check for Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome which is known to have ovulation problem and result in infertility. At this stage, I would advise you to monitor your ovulation. Ultrasonography would be option of choice for this. If you find evidence of egg release, you should not be concerned about conception problems. Try to plan your pregnancy at and around the day of egg release to achieve the pregnancy. If ultrasonography reveals the failure of ovulation, you will have to undergo treatment of ovulation induction. Please report to your Gynaecologist. Dr. Nishikant Shrotri
