If part of your PCOS is insulin resistance, taking Metformin can have huge benefits. After starting that and then starting medication for an underactive thyroid a couple months later, I was able to lose weight much more easily without doing much different. For some women, the Met alone will regulate their cycles. My RE had me wait a little while after starting Metformin before starting fertility treatment to give the meds some time to work. I did manage to get pregnant on Clomid alone, but it was an ectopic pregnancy that had to be terminated. Best of luck to you!
