Hi,
With uncontrolled PCOS without natural ovulation, it is highly impossible to fall pregnant spontaneously. If you have been taking anti-insulin medication for quite sometime and the insulin resistance has been cleared, you may ovulate naturally. In that case, you may not need any hormones to get a period. If, in the rare instance that you fall pregnant while still on the medication, you should immediately stop the medication. Usually you can see the withdrawal bleeding in 3-7 days after completion of hormone treatment and if you do not see a period even after ten days, you can suspect pregnancy. Fetal harm is insignificant before the sex differentiating hormones are seen, i.e., before 45 days of pregnancy. Hope this helps.
