Did you look in on the LTTTC taking Clomid/Metformin thread here...

I can't help with the Provera q's.
I did take Clomid for 4 consecutive cycles and they were monitored too. I was a little extra bit anxious/sad/hormonal.

As for the side effects, I'm not sure what they say in general, but I got masses of eggs the first cycle and a huge cyst. I got less eggs the second cycle, and some smaller cysts. And then less eggs on the 3rd and 4th cycles, but still cysts.

My problem was never going to be solved with Clomid, so it's little wonder it didn't work. But it wasn't that bad being on it.

Best of luck, and I hope someone with better knowledge jumps on in and helps you out.
