Hey...

Ah where to begin.. I myself have PCOS, but went undiagnosed for ages. From the age of 15 I was on the pill, as my periods were irregular, and very painful. When DH and I got married in 08 we decided that I would come off the pill and start trying. I came off the pill had a few normal cycles, and then nothing for 240 days. and I wasnt pregnant. I went and saw my GP, and instead of doing any tests she put my on metformin, and said lose some weight, and come back in 3 months. I lost about 15kgs, took metformin.. NOTHING! I went back and saw her, and she told me give it time you are young... All things Im sure you have heard.. Anyway I ended up getting a referral to my now FS, who rang so many tests to find out what was going.. June last year I was dx with PCOS.

Metformin.. is crap and I dont think that it is even worth it, I havent heard many success stories at all. Also while I was taking metformin I was also having accupuncture done.. which is supposed to help.. but didnt..
ATM I am in my second round of Clomid, and I myself have heard a few horror stories, and was not keen at all to start it... BUT all the things I have heard about usually happen with prolonged use. My first round of Clomid I ovulated on CD16, but we missed the egg.. Not enough DTD. lol. If you are worried about the clomid you should come talk to some of the ladies in the metformin/clomid thread.. you will gain alot of advice from them, and they are very reassuring! There is also success threads that I have read, about Clomid, about IVF so on and so forth..

I hope this helps..
