Brief Answer:
IUI or IVF

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.

Delayed periods after stopping Duphaston can be due to hormonal disturbances in PCOS, thyroid or prolactin disorders or due to stress.

All these causes should be ruled out.

If you are unable to conceive by ovulation induction, then intrauterine insemination and in vitro fertilization should be done sequentially for conception.

PCOS patients do conceive with either of these two procedures.
You should discuss with you doctor these procedures and be positive and optimistic.
Hope you found the answer helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.
