Hi,

Most women with PCOS don't ovulate and thus cannot become pregnant. So the first treatment option for infertility is usually the administration of drugs to induce ovulation like Clomid which you have already taken. Secondly Glucophage or Metformin is an insulin-sensitizing agent that is sometimes used in conjunction with Clomid.

Other than that, Injectable HCG, Hmg, FSH, GnRH and assisted reproduction like IUI, IVF, GIFT AND ICSI may also be used. Please discuss these treatment options with your dermatologist,

I sincerely hope this information helps. Take care.

It's truly amazing how we pcosers cherish the unborn child more then most. To have a choice is a great thing but I have argued that in my case the choice isn't there. As for hot flashes I am also finding certain foods I have loved, Mexican and Tai make me have them too.
