No: It can be hard to treat but stop the sugar in the liquids, even fruit juice is full of them. Consider metformin, 30% of women will begin to ovulate on 1500 mg, try the xl version and go up slowly while eliminating cokes, juice, etc. Remember, those with pcos have 2x the rate of depression, wellbutrin (bupropion) can work well with metformin for weight loss but go up slow. No easy fix, but can b treated.

Lifestyle changes: The best treatment to improve symptoms of pcos is weight loss if you are overweight. This will improve your health and may restore your ovulation. If medications are needed, Clomid (clomiphene) is typically prescribed to induce ovulation, however it is not over the counter as you need physician supervision while taking it. Birth control pills can also be used to control symptoms when not trying to get pregnant.
