A multi won't have any effect at all as the amount of Vit d in a multi is so trivial your body won't notice it.
If you look at this study
The EFFECT of VITAMIN D REPLACEMENT THERAPY on INSULIN RESISTANCE and ANDROGEN LEVELS in WOMEN with POLYCYSTIC OVARY SYNDROME.
Quote:
Insulin resistance (IR) is one of the common features of the polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and recent studies indicate the possible role of vitamin D in the pathogenesis of IR and glucose metabolism.
In this study, it was aimed to determine the effect of vitamin D replacement therapy on glucose metabolism, insulin and androgen levels in obese, insulin resistant women with PCOS.
Eleven women with PCOS were included into the study.
The mean age of the patients were 23.6+/-5.7 years, body mass index 33.9+/-5.1 kg/m2.
Six of the patients (54.5%) had acantosis nigricans and ten (90.9%) oligoamenorrhea.
The mean Ferriman Gallwey score was 14.1+/-4.6.
Only two women were within the normal limits of vitamin D levels as >20 ng/ml. ( that is a totally stupid statement above 20ng/ml is still deficient. Human breasts only produce vitamin D replete milk around the 60ng/ml level so it's only around 55~65ng/.ml that our bodies have the amount our DNA evolved to function best with)
Three weeks after the administration of the single dose of 300,000 iu of vitamin D3 orally, 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 significantly increased from 16.9+/-16 ng/ml to 37.1+/-14.6 ng/ml (p:0.027) and only two women were detected to have vitamin D3 levels <20 ng/ml.
Although glucose and insulin levels were decreased nonsignificanltly, hemostasis model assesment-IR significantly decreased from 4.41+/-1.38 to 3.67+/-1.48 (p: 0.043).
No significant alterations were witnessed at the levels of dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate, total and free testosteron, androstenedion.
No correlation was found between vitamin D with HOMA and other hormonal parameters.
In conclusion, women with PCOS have mostly insufficient vitamin D levels, and vitamin D replacement therapy may have a benefical effect on IR in obese women with PCOS.

My comment is in italics and I made the amount of Vit D used bold.
Most researchers don't have a clue about vitamin D3.
Ideally time has to be allowed for the body to adjust to being at the natural primitive level our DNA evolved living outdoors naked found to be best.
So ideally although it's a good idea to raise status reasonably quickly it would have been better to use amounts the body would acquire naturally. 50,000iu daily over a week would have been better than one intake of 300,000 and then it should be continued at an amount somewhat higher than daily needs (1000iu for each 25lbs) continually ad infinitum. Our skin makes 10,000~20,000iu/daily given full body sun exposure and it's reasonable to deduce there is a reason for that amount.
Only when Vitamin D status is above 50ng/ml does the body begin to have significant stores of D3.
Grassrootshealth D Action for cheap source of testing You can assume because you have PCOS you ARE now VITAMIN D DEFICIENT. Only after you have taken
BIO-TECH D3-50 Cholecalciferol 100 Caps - Free Shipping one of these daily for a week then one every 5 days for the next 2 months will you be approaching
the level at which your breasts evolved to function best. So leave getting tested till then. If you are still below 60ng/ml you will need to continue the 50,000iu each 5 days (10,000iu/daily) for as long as needed and get as much sun on your skin as possible. When you have been above
60ng/ml for at least 3 months you may then notice some remission of PCOS symptoms.
You can see this study failed to raise status sufficiently to provide a reserve of D3, They only averaged 37ng and the highest woman's level was only 51ng so not enough D3 and for too short a time.
