Hello dear, Welcome back to HCM.
Sorry such a long delay in my response.
If you are on siphene it may depend upon siphene doses and for how long you are taking it because in PCOD patient it may take time to regulate the cycle and ovulation on siphene .
Sometimes 6 months cycle therapy important.
Yes,stress may decrease your chances of pregnancy but it is not necessarily.
