I had irregular periods since I started periods at the age of 12 and a half. In the beginning, we figured it's my body's way of adjusting to the change but even with the passing of time and everything else working just fine, we never thought I could have PCOS.
I have always taken homeopathic medicines. For any and everything. My family doctor is a homeopathic doctor and that has always worked very well for us. Trust me, when I have allergies and need to take something, I take children's benadryll and it works wonders since I don't ever take allopathic meds.

But..

Homeopathic meds did not work for my PCOS. I wasn't even diagnosed with PCOS till a month and a half ago..! I took homeopathic meds for my period problem from when I was 12 and a half till now and it did not work -- at all.
I never gained weight because I am very athletic and toned. I could eat anything and never gain a pound.
Then, recently, I started gaining weight. Not 'fat' but very unusual for me. I shot up to a 153 lbs! I never ate wrong or anything but perhaps it was my body's way of telling me I needed to do something about it.

I had gone to some doctors a few years back and they were terrible. They couldn't figure out what was wrong with me?!?! Because I felt fine otherwise, they thought I was just "going through a phase"...
Anyway, then someone referred me to a specialist that I saw 5 weeks ago. She was excellent! One meeting and she said I had PCOS. I had always suspected it but when all my tests used to come out normal, I would scrap the idea. She did specific tests and procedures and confirmed I had it. However, my case was not extreme. She explained I would not have any major problems in conceiving when I chose to get pregnant and that this was something she could fix.

Relieved, I took her prescribed meds for 5 days, got a period and 5 weeks later dropped 20 lbs. I am now waiting for the second period according to the program.

Moral of the story, although homeopathy works wonders for many other cases, for others, it's just not the right choice. Sometimes you need to look into 'all' your options before you can find good treatment.
