Hi,
Polycystic ovaries do respond very well to treatment and conception is seen in most of the cases. Only, the prior assessment should strictly adhere to a protocol and this includes a complete hormonal study including thyroid status, insulin resistance, serum Prolactin and DHEAS levels, tubal patency tests and trans-vaginal sonogram. Induction is usually done in ascending doses with regular monitoring for a maximum of up to six cycles. Addition of Metformin to reduce insulin resistance has shown to be beneficial in many cases to help ovulation and conception. Please have timed intercourse, maintain a healthy weight and a healthy diet. Hope this helps.
