There's much deeper issues to PCOS than regulating a cycle.  PCOS occurs when the body starts producing too much LH and the ovaries start producing too much testosterone.  Excess of these hormones effect ovulation.  And with no ovulation, your body won't produce progesterone which regulates cycles.

PCOS is attributed to genetics, imbalanced hormones (including thyroid disease) and/or the body's inability to use insulin properly.  Insulin not only controls blood sugar, but it also controls ovarian function.

If it hasn't occurred, have your physician run a blood test for an abnormal thyroid condition and antibodies.  Should you have a thyroid disease, treating this, may also treat your PCOS.

Weight loss (if you're overweight), regular exercise, and medications that help balance insulin also help.  And just like diabetics, help control your insulin levels by eating healthy meals.  If you can get these things under control, you will be able to conceive.  Good luck TTC!
