Hi,
when you visited your doctor last time? what was your ultrasound report a that time, is there any improvement in the PCOS status?
Over weight will not only affect the chances of fertility but also it will create problems during pregnancy and delivery.
So, now what you have to do is,
decrease your weight, take the help of professional trainers and dieticians for this if needed,
keep your blood sugar under control,
go to your gynecologist, undergo ultrasound examination check your PCOS status,
use tablets according to that,
if needed you can go for ovulation induction drugs or artificial reproduction methods.
take care
