Pco/periods

I was on the pill for 4 years. I stopped the pill due to headaches and then I had no periods for 6 months. They then returned abnormally however I’ve just had 3 regularly. I had a scan at 6 months post pill and a scan 1 year post pill and both showed polycystic ovaries. However blood work was normal and periods are now regular.

Will my fertility be effected? I’ve been advised it’s not PCOS and this appearance of my ovaries may just be my norm.
is there anything I can do to improve this ?

You could ask for an insulin resistance test and more detailed look at androgens (GPs are notoriously poor at diagnosing PCOS). However having a lot of follicles doesn't necessarily mean anything negative.
