Can I get pregnant even if I have PCOS? And what should I do to get good treatment? I was given dain35 and clocvage500 for 2 months but I didn't get pregnant? Are 2 months enough?

Check this with your Gynecologist.

Yes, as Dr. Nemer stated above you can get pregnant even if you have PCOS, plus you should be patient I mean 2 months are not enough. You should not be stressed, let it go, take your treatments, follow your doctor's advice and you will be pregnant. Don't overthink things and don't count the months, you may be pregnant by days and you may be by months depending on your own case and body reaction to treatment plus intercourse with your partner. Be patient!
If you want to get pregnant, you may be offered the following treatments:
-The fertility drug clomifene is usually the first step, as it can stimulate ovulation. If it doesn't work then you may be offered gonadotrophins. However, gonadotrophins are more likely to overstimulate your ovaries and cause you to have a multiple pregnancies.
If you are obese or resistant to clomifene, the diabetes drug metformin (GLUCOPHAGE) may help. It increases your body's sensitivity to insulin so your insulin and your testosterone levels fall. This helps your body ovulate normally. This is a controversial treatment as the benefits may not outweigh the risks. It has unpleasant side effects, such as nausea and vomiting, but may help if used in combination with clomifene.
-Surgery on your ovaries. A technique called laparoscopic ovarian drilling (LOD) can help some women conceive if clomifene hasn't worked for them. LOD is an effective, lower risk alternative to gonadotrophins.
However, success depends on how long you take clomifene and other factors, such as whether you are overweight. For about a third of women with PCOS, clomifene isn't the answer. Having a BMI (body mass index) greater than 25 makes clomifene less likely to work for you.
