I also have PCOS and have known for a very long time that i would not be able to make babies on my own, (hubbie said i was just being pessimistic! Huh proved him wrong! hollow victory tho I have a similar problem where I DON'T ovulate at all! even when on the pill i still get my period but it is not a true ovulation as no eggs were generated.
I got the ****s with nothing happening after 3 months of trying (but I already knew stuff wasnt working) so got an appointment with a fertility spec. I had a laparoscopy and hysteroscopy to make sure there was nothing physically stopping me from ovulating (blocked tubes etc) and then the doc discussed options. He was wary to give me clomid as PCOS sufferers may then produce way too many eggs (like 30!) and if you have sex you could end up being the octomum!
We went with IVF and were very lucky with our first round, 6 eggs at EPU, 3 that fertilised, one of which is now kicking me in the ribs 6 weeks away form birth.
It is a tricky and long road but if you feel your gyno isn't helping you or giving you the info you want, search out other options, a reproductive endocrinologist is prob your best bet as they know pretty much everything (and will tell you that constantly!) and do your homework! Being informed is the best weapon against infertility.
Good luck and I hope things go as well for you as they did for us.
