Short answer
Plan to review homeopathic treatment for PCOS over three to six months, because progress can only be measured across several menstrual cycles. Cycle regularity, acne, hair changes, weight and energy move at different speeds, and lifestyle changes matter as much as any medicine. PCOS is a long-term tendency that is managed rather than switched off, so treatment aims at a steadier pattern, not a fixed end date.

The unit of measurement in PCOS is the cycle. If your periods come every 40 to 60 days, three cycles already take four to six months, and one period arriving on time proves very little by itself.
Skin and hair lag further behind. Acne is judged over two to three months, and hair changes over longer still, because of how slowly skin and hair renew.
In the first weeks the things to note are general ones: energy, sleep, cravings, mood before a period. The cycle itself is assessed over at least three cycles — the gap between periods, the number of days of flow, pain and spotting.
Acne is reviewed with monthly photos. Excess facial or body hair and thinning on the scalp change slowest of all, and often need a gynaecologist's or dermatologist's treatment alongside. Weight and waist measurements are worth taking monthly, not daily.
Regular activity, sleep and sensible eating are the foundation of PCOS care in every system of medicine, and they are discussed as part of the plan. Your gynaecologist's monitoring — ultrasound, hormone and thyroid tests, blood sugar where advised — continues as before.
Do not stop prescribed hormonal tablets, metformin or other medicines on your own; any change is made by the doctor who prescribed them. If you go more than about three months without a period, see your gynaecologist, because long gaps need medical attention in their own right.
Say so at the very start, and keep both doctors informed. The plan is adjusted to your situation, fertility care stays with your gynaecologist, and no one can responsibly promise a pregnancy by a given date.
