Hi,

PCOS is very complex disease and cause menstrual irregularity. Following are aim of treatments: correct hormonal imbalance, regularize period, reduce weight, reduce insulin resistance.

I would suggest to consult experienced gynecologist and take proper treatment under the supervision of gynecologist. Regular USG and ovarian follicle study will help to monitor the disease.You can take provera and metformin for 4 to 6 months. Once your period will become regular, chance of pregnancy will high. Provera support implantation and pregnancy.

Metformin reduce insulin resistance and induce ovulation. You can also use clomiphene citrate to induce ovulation once your period will become regular. Avoid stress, take healthy diet with fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables, take small frequent meal rather than large meal, drink plenty of water, do regular exercise and maintain weight according to BMI.

Hope this may help you. Contact further if follow up needed.

Best regards,
Dr. Sagar
