In quite a few number of patients after stopping the pills, patient may have ovulatory cycles for a couple of months. Since you've just stopped your pills; you stand a reasonably good chance of conceiving naturally.
Next Steps
You may do ovulation monitoring either by the ovulation strips or ultrasound to know whether you're ovulating. If you're ovulating then no need to take fertility medication. In case you're not ovulating, the first step would be to be in a healthy BMI range (if you're not) by getting into a proper diet and exercise regimen.
Health Tips
PCOS related fertility issues by far respond favorable to fertility treatment. On a broader outline, treatment of PCOS related fertility issues involves lifestyle modification, taking of ovulation inducing drugs, surgical intervention in rare cases and assisted reproductive techniques in some.
