Hello doctor, I have PCOS and irregular periods. My doctor prescribed me Diane-35 for 21 days. The last day of the pill was fifteen days before. I did not get my periods till date. I did a home pregnancy test, and it is negative. Though it is unlikely I can be pregnant, I wanted to know how long to wait for the periods to come with Diane-35? Please clarify.
Hello. Diane-35 is taken for 21 consecutive days with seven days off. The next cycle is started after seven days off on the eighth day, irrespective of the periods. Though in majority of cases there are periods in those seven days, rarely there may not be periods. Hope your other investigations, mainly CBC (complete blood count), blood sugar, TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) and Prolactin are normal. PCOS (polycystic ovary syn ChatDoctor.   Take care.
