Weight reduction is an important part of the treatment. If you are not ovulating with Clomid, letrozole could help. Along with this, myoinositol could be used

You can take this supplement if you are going to the gym. If you can have good normal food there is no need for any supplements

Please do not take any medicine as mutivitamin preparations. They are not of much help. You have to avoid stress by meditation. It will increase your concentration. Consult doctor.

Chirocyst tablet is used in women with PCOD. It is an ovarian sensitising agent and improves hormonal ratios and reduces insulin resistance. This helps in achieving ovulation and pregnancy. Yes it is true that a few women can conceive naturally after coming off clomid. This is related to a healthy lifestyle, weight control and correction of hormonal imbalance and insulin resistance in PCOD. If you have missed a period please do a serum b-HCG which a blood test to see if you have conceived!
