Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Irregular periods, excessive hair on the body and increased DHEAS level is suggestive of polycystic ovarian disease. In this condition, there is infrequent or no ovulation and hence there is infertility.
The first line of management in PCOS is ovulation induction and prolafin is ovulation induction drug which you are taking.It has a success rate of 35-40% in each cycle, and can be taken for 6 cycles continously.
Duphastone is progesterone which supports the pregnancy by making uterine environment more favourable for conception.
I would suggest you to take the treatment as advised by your doctor and if you fail to conceive in 6 months, then do go for intrauterine insemination.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
