Yes: Most people with pcos do not ovulate and will need some form of ovulation induction in order to conceive. For most patients it is best to start with Clomid or clomiphene, along with a healthy diet, exercise and weight loss if overweight. Most pcos patients can conceive with Clomid alone but some will need more advanced treatments such as ivf.

PCOS and ovulation: If you had pcos and are not ovulating regularly, you may take Clomid (clomiphene) or Femara to get you to ovulate consistently. If the oral medications aren't successful, you may need to consider injectable medications or ivf as an alternative. Depending on other parameters, you may also benefit from using metformin or some measure to reduce your Insulin levels. This may help with keeping the pregnancy.
