I wasn't overweight, but was diagnosed with PCOS. Specialist reckoned I'd reached a weight which triggered the imbalance of hormones & insulin resistance. Didn't have to be overweight for it apparently! My cycle went from very irregular to completely disappearing for about 10 months. Started on metformin, had my first bleed after 6 weeks, and fell pregnant on the 2nd cycle.
The plan was to start on metformin and then go onto clomid, but since metformin re-established my cycle, we just went with that for TTC.
Hope you have some success with it. I can't quite remember, but I didn't have many side effects from it I don't think, my dr started me on a low dose for 2 weeks and then upped it. Apparently helps if you ease into your dosage, reduces the side effects.
