I've been dealing with irregular periods for about 7 years nowthey only happen every 6 or 7 months. In an ultrasound, they found out I have polycystic ovaries. I'm worried about how this might affect my health and future. Can you help me understand what's going on and what steps I should take?
Your irregular periods and polycystic ovaries diagnosis suggest Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), a hormonal disorder; consult a gynecologist

I'm dealing with PCOS and noticed I have a dominant follicle measuring 1915mm in my right ovary on the 12th day of my cycle. The sizes of my ovaries are 11cc on the right and 9cc on the left. I'm really eager to know if I can get pregnant with this dominant follicle. I'm currently taking letrozole, folvite, and duphaston. Could you give me some insight on this?
Yes, there is a possibility of getting pregnant with the dominant follicle present. The medications you are taking are helpful in promoting ovulation and supporting a healthy pregnancy.
