Re: 2nd cycle of Clomid and spotting day 9-15

I'm 27 and was diagnosed with PCOS in August. My doctor gave me an HSG
and said everything looked great. I was put on Glucophage XR 3 times a
day. The problem is that I also suffer from IBS, and can't always
stomach that much Glucophage. Last month and last cycle (my first on
clomid, 50mg) I was very good about taking my Gluc and my PreConceive
vitamins. At the beginning of this cycle, I had an IBS episode which
I'm now beginning to think was a virus. I haven't been taking the gluc
like I should this cycle. Could this contribute to the spotting? Is it
possible that I now have fibroids? Also, what would having follicles in
the ovaries mean to my chances getting pregnant?
