Hello dr I am 39 and have been using novex ds for the last 7 months. First for heavy bleedng later I continued it as a contraceptive. Now I my periods are delayed and I was last month diagnosed with left ovarian cyst and a 21/23.9mm fibroid in the uterus. My husband n I want a child now will I be able to conceive after leaving novex? Plz help
Hallow Dear, Novel DS Tablet contains Ormeloxifene as an active ingredient. It has got contraceptive effect; hence while you are on these pills, you cannot conceive. You do have a chance of conceiving after discontinuing these pills. Fibroid may not interfere in conceiving; however, the fibroid may cause complications of pregnancy or delivery. You may have to face miscarriage, premature delivery, etc. During pregnancy, the fibroid always increases in size and may have bleeding in it. After delivery, since the uterus cannot contract effectively, you may have to face excessive bleeding. Of course the size of the fibroid is not very big. So you may take a chance of pregnancy without removing fibroid. Left ovarian cyst needs to be evaluated. If it is corpus luteum cyst, it should not cause any problem. Ultrasonography ovulation monitoring will give some clue. If you are ovulating then you may go for pregnancy. However, if you are not ovulating, ovulation induction may be required. Please report to your Gynecologist before attempting any pregnancy.
