I had an operative laparoscopy and ovarian cyst drilling in april. fertility was a problem (pcos) how long it takes to get pregnant?

Ovarian drilling: If ovarian drilling is going to work, it is going to work in the first 3 months. You need to see a reproductive endocrinologist.

Depends: Drilling is rarely done anymore. It is no more effective than ovulation medicines. If you periods are now very regular after the surgery, then hopefully you have a chance to become pregnant. If your periods are still irregular now, then the surgery will not provide benefit so fertility treatment would be in order. Drilling can cause significant scarring so a xray of the tubes would be helpful.
