I got preg with first, b/c I did have reg cycles. My second I had to take
clomid for two months. I now since my son don't have any period without
induction. I now weigh 190 at my biggest, but it seems the smaller I am, the
closer my periods are, and I can even ovulate w/o meds. I find the more
heavy a person, the worse the PCOS is. I'm now trying to loose weight just
to have a reg cycle. Good luck to you!!!! Katherine
