Treatment of PCOS is long-lasting and requires great patience.

If you don't succeed to provoke ovulation with Clomid (clomiphene) you can try with FSH and LH injections. This procedure can be done only in institutions specialized for assisted reproductive techniques ("in vitro" fertilization).

Pain won't be a big problem if you try.
