I was suffering from ovarian cyst and now I have undergone laproscopic surgery one month ago and doctor advices me to take medicine DANZOL -200 for three times a day for nine months . As I was taking this medicine one gynecology doctor asked me to stop this medicine and now I am not taking this medicine . I had taken this medicine for one months and while taking this medicine I got my last months periods on time but this periods not yet arrived as I have also done home pregnancy test and result in negative . I want to know that is this due to medicine that I have taken? Now what should I do ? Can still become pregnant or not . Please reply

Do you know why the gyn told you to stop taking it? Did he/she do an exam or ultrasound to make this determination? Were you on it due to having cysts?
Not having a period is common when using Danzol, so it is likely due to that. However, depending on the reasons for the ovarian cysts, that too could be a reason for not having a period. Danzol won't effect a pregnancy test.
Whether you can become pregnant will depend on if you are ovulating or not, what the uterine lining is like, for example if you have endometriosis (which is another reason Danzol is sometimes used) that can effect the ability to conceive, and your hormones. An imbalance in hormones can result in ovarian cysts and also cause difficulty in conceiving.
What sort of testing, if any, was done in regard to hormone levels along with treating the cyst?
