Hi, I think you should take some medicines for your PCO problem. Take metformin, myoinositol and folic acid. Discuss with your doctor regarding this. You can take some medicines like clomiphene for the growth of your follicles and track your follicles growth by repeated ultrasound and when your follicles is more than 17 to 18 mm, take injection for rupturing the follicles. Be in contact with your husband every 2 to 3 days after your periods stop. Take progesterone for next 2 weeks. Do a urine pregnancy test at home after that. For now, as you have not got periods for 2 months, do a urine pregnancy test and if negative, take progesterone for inducing periods. If you are ovulating on medicines, then you can try like that for 3 to 6 months. If not, you may need laparoscopic ovarian drilling. It will reduce most of your problems. Hope I have answered your question.
