Regulating your cycles is very important in the treatment of PCOS. For now taking all your medication will help you have normal periods. When you are ready to have a baby, you will go off the birth control but probably stay on the glucophage. If you are spontaneously ovulating you may not even need clomid, but most likely you are not hearing your symptoms and lack of periods before birth control. You will then start clomid and do a treatmetn plan with that. Usually specific days during your cycle with timed intercourse or intrauterine insemination. Sometimes clomid does not work for us PCOS patients and injectable medications are needed. I would definately recommend seeing a reproductive endocrinologist if you have not yet done so. Insurance has never covered my infertiltiy medications and I remember my clomid cycles being fairly inexpensive. The injectables though get up in price. Good luck getting your cycles regulated. Hope this helps.
