Hi Kim,
First advice: check the dosis of your Provera pills. May well be 5 mg!
Laparoscopy is a past method and before starting clomid you should have your hormones and glucose metabolism checked. The appropriate Rx for PCOS is insulin sensitizers. If it doesn't regulate your periods, you can go on with clomid.
For your info
