Hi
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
Pregnancy in PCO is not impossible but to be managed carefully.You can get pregnant even if you have PCO.So , please wait till the treatment is over and don’t be anxious about it.
The treatment you are receiving is appropriate and continue the regimen as prescribed.Once your hormones are regular , periods are regular , you can try for pregnancy.if needed treatment with ovarian stimulating drugs can enhance your chances of pregnancy.You may not need any procedures.
If you need more information feel free to mail me.
Take care
