More than 15 follies =polycystic ovaries....... Not necessarily the syndrome, you would need hormone tests to confirm that.

Put simply anyone with 15+ follicles have pco. So those follicles are cysts...... Or the result of eggs that were never released.

Don't you love the way no one explains anything???? I had ovaries 3 times the normal size and never got told anything about why.

Diabex would be prescribed alone before clomid to try and regulate your af. When an af is regular cysts have the power to correct themselves. If you went on clomid first you have an increased risk of it actually causing more cysts rather than ovulation.

It's a long process but well worth taking the long route!!!
