Hi Doc,

I am 34yrs with a 5yr old son and TTC the second. I have had PCOS for a v long time but was not on any medication until we decided to go for another baby. I take Metformin and Ovacare as a daily dosage. We are TTC for the last fw months but not sucessful. Just wanted to know if all will be ok and we will be successful ??? :)

Thanks

Hello dear,i understand your concern.In my opinion the main problem in PCOS
is absence of ovulation leading o infertility.So along with ovacare,metformin a ovulation induction drug like clomiphene citrate can be tried.This is effective in 40-50% of cases.This can be tried upto 4-6 cycles with increasing dose.Another treatment is surgical called laparosopic ovarian drilling where the cysts are punctured laparosopically and this effective upto 80-90%.So discuss regarding the above things with your doctor.Relax nothing to worry.Avoid stress and anxiety as they might delay fertility further.PCOS is one of the treatable causes of infertility.
