Hello

Cervical polyp may interefere with pregnancy preventing it or sometimes leads to abortion depending on its size. usually these complications occur with huge polyps. Your main problem as i see it is to get ovulation. There are many methods to induce ovulation starting with clomid, if no response the dose of clomid is increased, and if still no response, other drugs can be added.

Losing weight is of major concern in your case. it helps a lot.

Good Luck
