Hello there,
Thanks for writing to us.
As you have poly cystic ovaries and your periods are irregular, you would need ovulation induction medications. You will also need to have the growth of the eggs monitored by ultrasound scan that is follicular or ovulation study.
You can continue taking metformin.
If you are overweight, you need to reduce weight by diet and exercise.
Also along with this, your husband's semen analysis and your tubal patency test need to be done.
Hope I have cleared your doubts.
