i fell pregnant on my first cycle of clomid that i was taking from day 5-9 after trying for 2 years with PCOS. HTH

ps. metformin did nothing for me, just made me sick. I love Clomid and i think its the only reason i became pregnant successfully. If i was u i would give it a try. As side affects go.. um from memory i get hot flushes a fair bit but that was really it.
