it doesn't sound like you're heavy to me at all!  I'm 5'2" as well, and I think I was my healthiest weight around 145 - at least that's what feels right for me.  Could be cuz I'm pear shaped so all my weight mostly starts below my belly button.  Below 145 my upper body starts turning into a skeleton!  But that's just me...  I do know that being at whatever your optimal weight is can only improve your PCOS.  I'm not sure you can ever "get rid of PCOS" - maybe you can, but mostly you can just help improve the symptoms.

As for the follicle growth rate - every one and every time is different.  I went from having no mature follicles on a Friday to having THIRTEEN that were 17+mm on the following Monday!  I was staying at 75IU of FSH all weekend.  So ya never know what's gonna happen...

Good luck to you!
