Please advise.That will be a great help. Doctor: Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Polycystic ovaries and irregular periods is suggestive of the fact that you are having polycystic ovarian disease. Conception is difficult in PCOS as there is irregular or no ovulation, hence no conception. The line of management in PCOS is stepwise, the next step to be done when the previous step fails:1. Ovulation induction with drugs2. Intrauterine insemination3. In vitro fertilizationThere is no role of laparoscopy in the treatment if PCOS is confirmed and bilateral fallopian tubes are patent.I would suggest you and your partner to consult an infertility specialist and get properly examined, investigated and treated accordingly.Hope you found the answer helpful.Wishing you good health.
