I've been dealing with PCOD and I'm a bit worried. My doctor initially put me on Diane 35, and while I was on it, my periods were regular. After stopping, I had one more regular cycle, but now I've missed two months. My doctor has prescribed duphaston 10mg for five days to try and trigger a period, and then Im supposed to go back on Diane 35 for another three months. Is this a normal plan? Should I be concerned about the missing periods or the medication? Just trying to figure out if this makes sense.

try to loose weight and maintain healthy life style to get regular periods and recomending not to use more than 6 months continusly
