Trying to get pregnant with PCOS

can anyone help, I was told I have PCOS after an ultrasound in Nov 23, since then I have been on 1500mg of metformin which hasn’t been bringing on my period every month, only 1 month of ovulation in march.
we have been regularly trying for a baby
we have gone to a fertility clinic privately who advised I have a fighting chance and to try letrozole or clomid to take with IUI or IVF
not sure what’s the best path to go down…
can anyone offer any advice or what they took/did to get pregnant thank you :)

Agree with getting thyroid tested. PCOS often goes with hypothyroidism. You need TSH to be under 2.5 for TTC - don’t get fobbed off with “results are in normal range”, as normal can be up to 5 but that’s no good for TTC - ask for the actual TSH and T4 numbers.

@minipie I did have a hormone blood test last week and the serum FSH is 1.5 which guessing is good then , it didn’t say my progesterone was very low so been on cyclogest for the past 6 days after ovulation occurred, sounds silly as I know I’m only 7dpo but I don’t think it’s going to be a positive test this month again :(
hard to stay positive X
