HI,
Pregnancy is not impossible in women with PCOS. With proper treatment conceiving will be possible. Metformin and clomid both are good drugs. Metformin will help normalise your hormones and clomid helps with induction of ovulation. This can be taken for 3 to 6 months. If there are no results then you will need further evaluation and treatment by an infertility expert. Hope this helps.
Take care and good luck.

i have cried and cried to my OBGYN to help me all she did was 3 cycles of clomid and provera to bring one my cycles.. my regular family doctor is doing more for me than my OBGYN. the OB said that there is absolutely NOTHING else she can do now other than to send me to a fertility clinic.

ive been on clomid for 3 years, with probably 9 cycles a year and my new dr has upped the dose each cycle in the last 3 and if this cycle doesnt make me ovulate, we are trying another medication. he said if changing the dose doesnt help than obviously clomid isnt the one for me. so, either find a new dr or let them know you want to do whatever route possible to become pregnant.
