Hi.
Your main two issues here are your weight and the fact that your weight and the polycystic ovaries are causing an irregularity in your menstrual cycle.
With an irregular menstrual cycle conception is difficult and even if it does take place, the pregnancy will be risky. So it is best you work towards losing weight, which will help in regularising your cycle.
Best of luck.
