I am in this same situation. I am also charting with LifeCycle, ttc 15 months, diagnosed with PCOS 9-01. I am on metformin 1000mg twice daily. My lutuel phases are about 9 days also. The doctor told me that the metformin might help with the lutuel phase (he just increased dosage form 500 to 1000mg) but he didn't mention any other meds. If you hear any differently or find something that works please pass it along.
