Hi. Welcome to the forum. I think you will get more and better answers about your pregnancy questions if you post over on the "Motherhood" area.

What concerns me about your post is that it sounds like your doctor is not treating you for PCOS or giving you enough information. It is a syndrome that effects your whole body and can have quite an impact on your overall health, not just your ovaries/periods. There are blood tests that should be run for androgen levels, blood sugar and insulin resistance, thyroid conditions, cholesterol and triglycerides, etc. Problems in these areas and others are commonly related to PCOS for many women. I hope you will be getting tested and then treatment if any need is identified. Most of us take Metformin (a diabetes drug) which helps our symptoms whether we are diabetic or not, and for some people this even regulates periods and increases fertility without "fertility" drugs. If your current doctor does not treat your overall health, I think you need to find another one to see about PCOS.
Best wishes to you!
