Hello dear,
I understand your concern.
In my opinion the PCOD is one of the treatable causes of infertiliy.

PCOD is routinely seen these days due to altered lifestyle and stress.

Main problem in PCOD is absence of ovulation.

So ovulation induction drugs like clomiphene,HCG injection are given.They are successful in ovulation induction most of the times.

The follicle size of 17 mm on 17 th day is not so bad.
The injection might help in inducing the ovulation.

Nothing to worry even if the cycle failed because the success rate in first cycle of treatment is very rare.

Iam sorry my aim is not to disappoint you but just trying to explain you the probability.

So relax.Avoid stress.
Weight reduction in case of overweight or obesity is first and most important in PCOD.

Metformin is a good medicine which increases the chances of conception.

Adapt healthy lifestyle like exercise and healthy nutritional diet.

Laparoscopic ovarian drilling also increases conception chances in PCOD.

Hope this helps.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
