Are you still breast feeding?
That will reduce or stop natural ovulation.

PCOS is often helped by Iodine therapy. Facebook has an excellent, large group called Iodine that is run by extremely knowledgeable people. While on the old Yahoo mailing list, we heard from several women who got pregnant after doing the Iodine protocol (you do it with a combination of other inexpensive but necessary supplements). Best wishes.

I first did the pinhole, and each time I had contact with the egg the chick would move around, cheep, peck. But after several more hours nothing was happening. I finally gave a little nudge at the pinhole, and the top of the egg (over the air cell) cracked open. Turns out the chick was getting glued in, clearly had been glued, don't know how long. I took off more eggshell, rolled back the membrane, little chick moving and happy but glued in-- moistened the membrane. Put chick into the warmer I had set up like a mini Mama-heating-Pad. An hour later and no progress, so I took off more shell and she finally pushed herself out, another hour and she was almost completely out, I touched her and she stretched and came out of it. I let her rest another 30 mins or so, then rushed her, in the warm box, out to my hen, who received her very happily. Checking tonight, the chick is dry and fluffy and was very much asleep under her mama. I think she was glued in for the last 2 days, but had internally pipped and not externally, so it didn't progress as far as I've seen it do, but she couldn't overcome the inertia of the membrane gone dry and tightened down. She is exhausted but I think she'll be fine.

Thanks a lot for the pinhole suggestion and for helping me have confidence.
