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 was diagnosed with PCOS in 2009.  I took 2 metformin daily and the recommended clomid regiment.  I am happy to say that we will be celebrating my sons first birthday this month.  We will be trying for round two the end of this year, and pray that the same potion works.

I wish everyone the best of luck!

I am newly diagnosed with PCOS and scared out of my life. I got pregnant when I was 16 with my daughter and am now 21, engaged, and looking to grow my family. I am so scared that even with medicine it still will not allow me to get pregnant and I cannot afford infertility treatment. I don't want this to be the end of having a family for me.
