i was diagnosed with PCOS when i was 25 under similar circs to you - irregular "cycle" (if you could call it that) since i'd had my first AF at around 17. hormones all up the creek, heaps of cysts etc

i started metformin and had surgery to make my ovaries more responsive to the drugs. i found the met helped me with the weight gain (halted it - didnt make me lose any though). i used clomid and, unfortunately it didn't work

it took us 3.5 years or a bit over to finally fall pregnant with our beautiful 5 week old DD - but it did happen - we just needed help. as much as PCOS sucks, as mummamia said, it IS something you can work around. it's not fun having to have help, but if the alternative is no child, you just do what you have to....

good luck with the treatment - if you and your partner are wanting to have a child soon, don't let the GP keep you on the pill too long - it helps to regulate cycles when you're not trying, but is pointless if you are...
