Hey, sorry about your loss. I have insulin resistance and was told by my doctor and fasting glucose blood tests that if i just keep a healty diet, my insulin levels stayed under control and there was no need for met. From what I have read it has a lot of side effects. Also, I'm a big believer that less medicine is better. If you don't have the symptoms dont take it. From what you have said, it sounds like you are ovulating, just late...which is a great sign because a lot of us here dont even get that! I would definately pay attention to your progesterone level after ovulation. There are many reasons why you may have lost your baby, but one of them could have been a uterine infection (which I think they check for in your 6 week blood work) and also low progesterone levles...i know there are more reasons, thats just the ones I know about. When you get pregnant next time, you should make sure that your doctor keeps a close eye on your progesterone level weekly until you get to your second trimester. If you dont have the proper progesterone support, your lining will not build up properly. It is just one thing to consider when you get pregnant again...its definately not the whole picture.

Also, make sure your doctor is well aware of everything involved with pcos. If he/she isn't, you may want to visit with an Reproductive Endocronoligist. They deal with this every day.

Many women also ovulate in a normal cycle with clomid, you should give it a try before you keep adding extra medicine. It is important to be patient!

Best of luck!
