Any suggestions for infertility while having PCOD?

Health Description
Health Consultation Description: Trust u r doing well, this question iam asking on behalf of my wife. We are trying for pregnancy but didn't get through from last one year. Her Ultrasound scan shows PCOD but there is no symptoms as such and last month her period got delayed for 7 days but the pregnancy test is negative and her ovulation strip test is positive. As suggested by the gynecologist she is using chirocyst tablets, glysophase from last 8 months and 15 months back she got seizures and neurologist suggested to use Oxetol 300mg, what would be the reason for the delay in pregnancy and now the doctor has asked her to do this injection called persinal 75iu for two days, what is this injection and is there any side effect for the above said medicines.

Condition analysis:
I understand your concerns. I am happy to see you back. It is normal to have delayed periods in women with PCOS. This does not mean pregnancy.

In about 30 percent of couple pregnancy is difficult to achieve even if everything is normal. This is called unexplained infertility. You seem to be one if couple with unexplained infertility.

Hence I suggest you go ahead with next step of treatment which is IUI (intrauterine insemination).

Persinal is a hormonal injection to increase follicle size and number. You can take it.

Instructions:
Caffeine: Caffeine can cause hormonal imbalances, dehydration and lead to mineral deficiencies. High consumption has been shown to interfere with fertility. Lowering your caffeine or giving it up entirely is a smart idea when you’re trying to get pregnant, especially if you’re having trouble. The American Pregnancy Association says that more than 200 to 300 milligrams of caffeine per day may reduce fertility by 27 percent, so you want to avoid caffeine overdose.
