Any PCOS women have success on Metformin and Clomid?

I've been diagnosed with PCOS recently and will start Metformin and Clomid.  I've heard the chances of having a healthy pregnancy with these meds are 40% for PCOS women which isn't too bad but wish it was more like 80%  : )  Just wanted to hear any success stories to help cheer me up. Thanks

I have PCOS and a 10 mo old.  My doctor has me on avandia daily and then also has me taking letrazol starting on day 9.  I was able to become pregnant this way with my first child through an IUI (2nd try) .  the BBT and medication alone did not work for me.  Once I was able to conceive I had no issues with my pregnancy alone.  My Doc always has told me that if you have PCOS clomid will not work.  Ask your Doc about doing the metformin, letrazol and avandia! good luck!

Does anyone know if you have to have a period before you can start taking matformin?? Or can I just start on the Metformin alone??
