I'm dealing with some issues related to pcos, like acne on my face, irregular periods, and hair growth on various parts of my body and face. I did an ultrasound, and it showed a cyst on my ovary. The doctor prescribed me some pills which worked when I took them, but once I stopped, all these problems came back. I'm wondering why this happens and what I can do about it? What other treatment options are there, or do I need to continue with the pills indefinitely?

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.
