Talk with your MD: Collect your cycle dates for the next 6 months and see if you ovulate with ovulation predictor kits ( over the counter). If you do not ovulate your gyn might offer Clomid (clomiphene) but try to do it with ultrasound evaluation and possibly iuis (inseminations) to improve outcomes. Also get a semenanalysis and hsg before you do Clomid (clomiphene) cycles to check for any other problems.

PCOS and pregnancy: It depends on what symptoms you have. If you have slightly irregular periods, you may still be able to get pregnant without much help. However, if your cycles are irregular, you should get help sooner to get medications to help with more timely ovulations. I would monitor your cycles for 2-3 months to see if there is a pattern. If no pattern and > 45 days, i would recommend getting help sooner.
