Ok...here is what happened with me...clomid didn't work on its own!! The ONLY way I was able to get pg was to get my insulin under control (ie. get the PCOS under control). I didn't know it at the time, but when I got pg with my oldest dd Catherine, I didn't take an met...BUT I had been exercising and losing weight using the Somersizing program...a LOT like South Beach by the way. I had lost 25 lbs...and got pg along the way (UNEXPECTED Too!!)

With the twins, I got pg with met and clomid combined..although it wasn't the original intention...LONG story...too long to tell.

Good luck

I struggled with PCOS for 5 years before I found what worked for me. We tried everything from Clomid, IUI's, herbs, Glucophage, etc... Nothing worked, so I came up with my own plan and fortunately, I have an OB who is willing to let me do my own thing. I took birth control pills ( Yasmin) for about 6 months. At the start of the 6th month, I added Avandia 10 mg per day for that month. That is where the science stops. I intended to take the Avandia longer, but didn't get around to getting it re-filled, and believe it or not, I ovulated for the first time in I don't know how long and got pregnant. The funny thing is, I had a textbook cycle- Ovulated on day 14. My little Ethan came last August. I had taken Avandia before, and it truely is the only medication that made me feel better. I'm pretty atypical- 5'5 and 118 pounds- never have a period on my own. I hope this helps.

Wow, thats amazing Alysia! Well, in case you all need an update, clomid didnt work the first round ....or the second round in that fact for me. But I am on my third round at cd8 and I am already feeling some *maybe* pains, and the two before I did not feel. I dont know, I just hope I get pg! lol!!
