Hi BW,

I was diagnosed with PCOS also but they couldnt see any cysts on my ovaries I just had all the symptoms.

I saw Dr Mark Bowman in Sydney, city, O'Connell St, he is an IVF Specialist also. He firstly prescribed me Clomid which I concieved first cycle but due to my PCOS and low progesterone I miscarried. He then put me on Metformin + Clomid. I was on Metformin for 5 months and concieved this time it worked and I have a healthy pregnancy. Mark Bowman is wonderful and understanding man and will prescribe what is best for you depending on your circumstances. I would totally recommend him, you need a referal from your GP to see him. Feel free to PM me for more info. I actually told Mark my friend takes Metformin and asked him the benefits and he thought it would be beneficial for me.

Re Side Effects of Metformin, if you start the dose really low and increase it every two weeks to the required amount you will not have any or little side effects.
