Hello to all you wonderful ladies. I'm new here but have been dealing with this since November 2006. Was diagnosed with mild PCOS early this year, and have tried Provera and Clomid. Clomid 50 mg - nothing! Now I'm waiting for the Provera to work, but it really doesn't seem to give me a predictable AF, just some spotting right now. Then I'm onto Clomid 100 mg - I'm praying this will work for me.
Anyone else going the Clomid route only? I've been told that Metformin is only for overweight ladies, but my insulin level has not been checked. I'm just wondering why some ladies get it and some don't.
I'd love to chat with someone who is having a similar experience, I am of normal weight, have no external symptoms such as the balding or excess hair, despite having an elevated androgen level. My LH to FSH is 5:1 and my ovaries are polycystic.
Funny thing, when we started to ttc and I became concerned, I investigated all these sites and thought, I can't possible have something like PCOS! And here I am! So bizarre.
Anyway, best wishes to all of you and please rsvp Maria

The metformin debate really seems to just depend on your doctor. I'm on it and its worked really well for me, but I've never been tested for IR. Doctor said the tests weren't that reliable anyway and he would prescribe it regardless. It works for some of us but not everyone (we're all different!) I'm pretty mild too, thin, mild acne and polycystic ovaries. Good luck!
