Wish me luck..I'm a bit leery, but willing to try. I guess since you tolerated it ok,it's working for you .I hope it does for me, the XR seems obviously more convenient. She wants me to try BCpills,but I just don't know. I can't help feeling that that is just masking the problem and not treating it...I also have an Rx. for Provera to use if I don't get a period every three months..holding off to use that in a few weeks if I need to. I hope it's ok to ask..are you trying to concieve, is that the reason for the Clomid? I guess I'm asking because I am not......I have three kids( I know, lucky me), all this didn't start till my third child was 2 years old..I never had weight issues or acne,etc.. until then. Needless to say, I'm not looking to get pregnant, but to correct whatever is wrong with my body and not have any long term health problems associated with PCOS. Well I wish you luck and thanks again for listening and responding:) Love, Marti
