Hello there.

You can get a follicular study which includes series of ultrasound during the mid cycle time to visualize follicles in the ovary. It is these follicles which release egg for fertilization by sperm.

In case your follicular study shown no ovulation which is likely possibility in your case as you have PCOD , you need to use drugs for ovulation induction. These drugs stimulate the ovaries to produce follicles and thereby egg release which helps you in conceiving.

Drugs like clomiphene , letrozole are used.
These drugs are to be taken only after advise and supervision of a gynecologist.
Do not use them on your own as if used in wrong doses they can lead to serious complications.

take care.
