Brief Answer:
You can very well get pregnant

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Presence of multiple small follicles in each ovary are suggestive of polycystic ovaries.
If the presence of polycystic ovaries is associated with irregular menstrual cycle, hirsutism(excessive hair on the face, chest, abdomen, thighs), acne or obesity, then it is known as polycystic ovarian syndrome ( PCOS).
PCOS is a condition of hormonal imbalance in which there is irregular or no ovulation at all, hence the conception and getting pregnant is a bit difficult.
Proper treatment including weight loss, lifestyle modification, and use of ovulation induction drugs usually result in pregnancy.
So, you can very well get pregnant with polycystic ovaries, provided all other conditions needed for conception are normal.
Hope you found the answer helpful. Please do get back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards
Dr Deepti Verma
