Looking for Hope

this is my first post and I would like to begin by thanking all the women on this forum for all their stories and motivation to fight PCOS.

I was diagnosed almost 9 or 10 years ago and put on BC which really helped. After being on BC for 7 years, my husband and I were preparing to have a baby so I stopped by BC pills.

I never realized the impact these pills had until my excessive hair growth returned (i even had laser hair removal done previously and to my dismay - most of my hair returned). anyhow, my doctor has put me on metformin - i am on 1000 a day and hoping to increase to 1500 by saturday.

i had not had my period yet - has anyone else suffered the same? should i ask for clomid to help?

also - i wanted to start monitoring my body temp. - sorry if this is a naive question - but i understand that our body temp is regularly 98.5 and what should it be around to understand if i'm ovulating or not. sorry i'm confused on certain things and appreciate any responses.
