As for the provera i have never had to be on provera cause i have normal menses but my sister in law was put on provera because she never knew when she was going to start her menses and not to long after her taking the provera she became pregnant and as of sunday night sept. 30th i became a new aunt and godmother to a healthy baby girl named Delaney Elise. So keep positive but definately let your doctor know who is in control alot of doctors want you to do things they way and you know whats best for your body. I'm happy to say i have a good doctor but i have heard some stories about doctors. Like i said i intend on printing out the page i saw on metformin and i intend for him to prescribe it to me. Please keep me inform as to what happens with you and this medicine and also if you don't mind me asking what is the cost for this medicine. One girl told me it was free but how can a medicine be free!!!!

>Metformin (glucophage) is not worth a try, it is a must. It corrects the metabolic disease at the root of PCOS and consequntly also helps with the symptoms, including anovulation. If anovulation is not reversed within 6 mo, you can add clomid, but defintely not earlier.
