Ok, saw the doctor today and she prescribed a diabetes medication for my PCOS...has anyone taken this medication before and if so, how long did it take before you began ovulating again? Just looking for some feedback from others! Thanks for the posts!

I too have slight PCO's and have been perscribed a low dose of Metformin by two very experienced medical practioners.  I was very sceptical at first but have heard it is very good in helping to clear PCO's.  They also do a diet to help reduce the PCO's.  I have started the Crieghton Model fertility programme and they will pick up and be able to suggest any diagnosis for the PCO's.
Good Luck
