Hi LG, I too suffer with PCOS, but was diagnosed at a very early age (15). I know its a relatively new thing that they are diagnosing, so there isn't much information around about it. I am not overweight either, but suffered with acne for years, I don't get acne now, but I have terrible skin.
I found that clomid didn't work for me at all, and my doctor didn't persist with it (he's pretty good like that) he has told me right from the start that I would need help conceiving, so I wasn't shocked. If the clomid does nothing for you, you should probably ask if you can try AIH, that's the next step.
Its kinda like IVF, you inject yourself with a low dose of drugs and then you ovulate and go home and do the biz yourself, its kinda natural I guess - well the conception is anyway. with IVF you do the injections (with higher doses of drugs) have to have multiple eggs mature and then go into hospital and have them extracted, put into a dish and then fertilised and lastly frozen. After you have any embryo in the dish, they then implant you a few days later.
Anyway, I raved on a bit there....
Look if clomid doesn't work for you, perhaps give AIH a go... :bloodt:
