PCOS, Clomid and hyperstimulation of ovaries with gigantic cysts

I have posted once before on this forum. I will keep you all posted if metformin does the trick getting me pregnant.

I have one other question. In my 2 year pursuit to get pregnant, I have been on/off Clomid for over a year. The Clomid makes me ovulate succesfully. However, one unfortunate side-effect is that I get hyperstimulated (well, my ovaries do). They get extremely enlarged, and huge cysts form on my ovaries and then the doctors tell me to take a break off of the Clomid. We watch them with ultrasound for a few cycles, and then it goes away, and I get back on.

I am wondering how common is this? Was this a weird reaction that only I had on Clomid? If so, is this PCOS reaction to Clomid, or just a rare reaction that anyone can have to the Clomid...

I'm wondering because if metformin doesn't work for me, what other options do I have, other than IVF?
