I am finally having a cycle after stopping June of last year. I have PCOS and the dr said my cycle stopped cause of my weightloss and needed a high dose of Metformin. Well I have started but it is bearly anything flowing but i have the cramps bad. well the dr has given me a script for Clomid 50mg to take on my 5 day of this cycle which will be on Sunday.
My concern is that i really not flowing so does that matter, will i still be ovulating. or should i not try to get prego this month just keep waiting. I have been on the estrogen patch to give me the estrogen I need since dec and now i am finally having a cycle but nothing is even there. Has anyone every had this problem or does it matter that I am having a small cycle. Please help me figure this out. I will be 2 years postop in August so this will be my first time really giving this a go.

Just wanted to wish you luck. There are some great ladies on here that have PCOS and have taken meds to help. Maybe they can give you some answers. All the best to you.

 I have PCOS and have gone a year without getting a period because of it twice. I actually just came out of a year without a period. I finally got my first period in a year this past March, and then a second one in May. I am controlling my PCOS (somewhat) through diet. I tried metformin briefly in the past. When I got my period in March it started out super super light. Like just a stain a couple times a day. That lasted for almost a wee****pt thinking maybe I wasn't starting my period after all. Then it picked up and I began bleeding super heavily for 2 weeks! It was all that build up from the past year coming out. My OB/GYN gave me a prescription for progesterone pills (I forget what they are called) to take for a week to make myself have a period if needed. She doesn't want me to go for longer than 3 months without having a period because its so hard on my body.
I am now TTC. I started temping the other day to see if I ovulate... I am expecting it to take a long time to get pregnant because of my cycles. I will probably go back on metformin soon. I just really wanted to try it with diet alone. So maybe it would be good for your body to have one period before you try the clomid? Whatever you choose, good luck with TTC! :)

thanks so much for that info it seems that we r both in the same boat. i have decided to not take the clomid this month cuz i really not bleeding and i know i should b doing alot more then what i have been. so when i go back to the dr on the 29th we can check to see how the estrogen patch is working for me. i didnt think this was going to be going well since this was my first cycle in a year
i will try to keep everyone updated and good luck to u as well
