Hi
Welcome to HealthcareMagic
Yes you ll be able to get pregnant.
Polycystic ovaries are common in women. you must find out if you have only polycystic ovaries or polycystic ovarian syndrome? Though ovarian vol. suggests PCOS. To confirm, you need to get few hormonal tests done, then the further treatment can be decided. The treatment of polycystic ovaries/syndrome depends on many factors like age, if pregnancy is desired at present or not, weight, presence of insulin resistance. To increase your chances of getting pregnant you should loose some weight, your doctor may put you on anti diabetic drug metformin, Clomiphene and letrozole are drugs used for Ovulation induction. Consult a gynecologist who ll guide you to step by step treatment. take care
