“Heavy bleeding?”
I was recently diagnosed with PCOS 8 cyst in specific, also about 1 year ago I had a thyroidectomy. Now back to the cyst matter, my doctor prescribed me Larin FE 1mg once a day, also every Sunday Ozempic 1mg for weight loss and hormone regulation, (I do not have diabetes), and for last but not the least weekly vitamin D (ergo). I have been bleeding constantly since Feb 28 but the discharge worsened 3 weeks ago filling up 9 pads per day.
I called my physician and he wasn't available but I was directed to some other doctor from the same hospital (this "new" doctor's the one that recently prescribed Larin FE) he said drink these birth control pills and you'll be better, I have been drinking them for 13 days so far but the bleeding seems to be worsening. What should I do? How many pads per hour or day it's an emergency? How do I know when to go to the ER? Are there any pills of higher quality than Larin FE? I was once prescribed metformin 1000mg to treat what was at the time a suspect PCOS but we swapped for ozempic due to secondary effects like rectal bleeding, also one thing I did notice is that metformin does reduce the bleeding really quick vs this new larin fe.
My conclusion:
Should I take, or can I take: one larin, one metformin 1000mg, daily, and ozempic once a week on Sundays?

I cannot tell you what to take or not take. It does sound like you need really need to talk with your sit down and talk with your provider. A stronger pill may be needed, Metformin may be a better choice than Ozempic.
You need a stronger pill to control the bleeding. Please see your gynecologist.
