hi Eileen,
Thought I would reply to your post, it seems there is a lot of confusion out there, so hopefully this helps.
I also have pcos, im 26 (used to live in sydney), have been married 12 mths and also on metformin for the last 6 mths.... i didnt have an AF for 8mths prior to starting metformin, after going off the pill they just didnt come.... so anyway, 2 months after starting met, i got pregnant and had a miscarriage because of all things, my AF started! Anyway, its been 2 mnths since then and Ive had an AF since, so things look to be on track in that department.
When i saw my specialist endo just after i had the m/c he said a few things which kinda made it all seem ok. Just because you are getting your AF every month doesnt mean you can become pregnant... you need to be ovulating as well (creating the egg) which is different. I was lucky that i got my AF and ovulated and got pg all at the same time... the pregnancy didnt hold though as my dr believes my body just wasnt ready for a baby (not having your AF for 8mths will do that to you i guess).. So im on metformin to regulate my period for another 6mths or so and in that time he thinks i wont have any problems conceiving (here's hopeing). My sister on the other hand doesnt have pcos, gets her AF every month on the dot yet doesnt ovulate... try and figure that one out
Chlomid though is a drug used to get you to ovulate.... all it does is help create the egg that is needed to get pg... nothing else. So if you're not sure whether to take it or not i would suggest go for your life.. you have nothing to lose. My dr said i didnt need to take it cause i obviously am ovulating as i got pg... all i need now is time and im sure my body will latch on to a successful pregnancy soon.
Good luck with everything, i hope it all goes well for you. Just listen to what your heart tells you to do.. its always rightIf ever you want to chat, feel free to msg me.
