The problem with PCOS is the "syndrome" part of the name. Basically means that there's this big group of symptoms, and we seem to get a random assortment of them... So no case of PCOS is quite like another. Kinda sucks, because we know we always compare ourselves with others and there's the frustration of "it worked for XXX, why won't it work for me?"

I'm reasonably similar in that I have none of the outward physical symptoms of PCOS - not overweight, never had acne in my life, no hair problems... but there's the complete and utter lack of AF and no ovulation at all. I'm not sure how my hormone profile rates, but I do know that my glucose tolerance test showed me up to be a surprisingly bad case of PCOS that startled my FS...

When it came to clomid - it just didn't work for me. I suffer from fairly strange pre-ovulation anxiety - every time my estrogen levels rise I get really quite anxious. I suspect that it was that anxiety that became so bad my body went into a state of being far too stressed to maintain a pregnancy so ovulation failed. My doctors considered the impact of the clomid on my state of mental health to be far too severe to try it again... fortunately, my FS has another drug that works in a similar manner which is getting me to ovulate fairly consistently.

Another sucky thing about PCOS - there's no way to predicat whether clomid will work for you besides jumping in and trying it. But the comforting side of things is that if it doesn't work, there are other options out there.

Good luck with everything.
