belle75 - don't be scared of the side-effects. you will probably start out on a low dose anyway.

i conceived my dd on my third cycle of clomid (25mg), but my problem was classed as 'secondary infertility' since i'd already had one child. i do know someone with PCOS who used it, though, and was successful on (i think) her 3rd or 4th cycle.

the main side effect i had was bloating, but that was minimal.

wishing you every success on your ttc journey .
