Welcome!

It took me around 10 weeks or so on 1500 mg to get my first period on met, and it wasn't until I started eating to control my insulin (IR Diet) that they came regularly.

All the best TTC and with the meds!

The INSULIN RESISTANCE diet is a way of eating to keep your insulin stable. For us PCOS'ers, it is really key to managing hormones.

An outline of the diet is here: IR Diet In A Nutshell

It takes about a week to get the hang of the carbs/protiens, but after that it is really easy. This way to eat has helped me so much...hit my goal weight, got my periods regular, normalized my male hormones and cholesterol. I have been maintaining my weight loss on this plan for over 2 years!

Hope it helps!
