Irregular periods, PCOS, but not obese, not able to conceive

I am 29 years of age. I started my periods at the age of about 13 years. Ever since, I have had irregular periods. Earlier I missed two months of periods or sometimes, three months. Gradually, it stabilised and since about a year I have been having periods where I miss only one month. and during that month I only have spotting whihc is very less and goes on for about 4 days. next month i menstruate normally and then again the next month I spot.  kno wthis is not normal. When I had doen ultrasound many years ago, the doctor informed me that I have PCOS but nothing serious. And hence, I never bothered. When I researched on PCOS, I have very few of the symptoms. I have no weight gain issue. I fac it is the opposite. I have hairs on my carves, pubic area and underarms only, no facial hair. Now, I am married- though I have been sexually active for about 5-6 years now. For the past one year, I have been trying to get pregnant but have been unsuccesful. WHat should I do? IS there a natural healing? I am into yoga, swimming and also maintain a good lifestyle and diet. I am not fat... my weight is 55 kilograms, height is 5 feet 3 inches. I am an Asian with Mongoloid features. Can you help me?
Best regards, Tshering

Thx for ur answers. I saw a doctor and she prescribed me a oral contraceptive pill for three months. I am not a person who likes to take pills...so I did not take it. I was supposed to this month. I am thinkin gof showing a doctor this week and getting a thorough test done. As I am not even sure the severity of my PCOS. I knew of my PCOS when I had done an ultrasound some few years ago and after that i don't know the status. ALso, after that my periods are more regular as in I miss only one month.. otherwise, earlier I used to miss my periods for 2-3 months altogether. Of course, I was happy as no cramps so i didn't bother...but now that I'm planning to start a family so I am kind of conscious and concerned.

I also have pcos. I have most of the symptoms.I dont get a cycle for 6 months at a time or longer. Im not that much over weight though I weigh 155 and im 5f 6inch. My sis has it as well and she has a normal cycle every month and has had problems with cysts.She got pregnate on her own without even trying. PCOS affects everyone different. I have been trying for about 7 months now. If you dont ovualate like me you should go see your doctor and they will probably put you on metformin, provera and maybe clomid. The only natural healing i have ever heard is after you have a baby in some cases it goes away. otherwise there is no cure. But there is hope with the right meds. good luck

Have you tried metformin.  Look it up. Works for many with PCOS.

Best wishes
