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

3 yrs ago I have thyroid and gained weight and since then my menses have been irregular. My husband and I have been TTC for about 2 yrs. Just started my first cycle of metformin and clomid. Going to see my dr this friday...hopefully i ovulate...the side effects is driving me crazy. i'm 33 i'm quite worried if after 35 it will be more difficult for me. :(

I was just reading through this and wanted to let you know i have always wanted children and was finally diagnosed at 30yrs with pcos i was put on metformin  then clomid (not together) then went to a new doc that said take them together and try robittusin (plain) a few days before ovulation (which most the time i didnt hardy ovulate) and i did another 6-rounds on 50mg my last month i was pregnant (a total of three years trying) had a baby girl in 08" i breastfeed 1year got my period 13months later and it never stopped i had to take provera to stop it (i once had 6-months of a period and had a dnc which also left scar tissue in 07') i started back on clomid and metformin 50mg for 7months i was stopped (9/100) to come in for a pap (11/10) and then to start 100mg-i never started my period i was going to start a med to start it then take the clomid but doc told me to take a pregnancy test which came out positive!! so now i have a healthy 1 year old boy (7/5/11) i am 36 now would even like more but god already blessed me with two and i yet again have not had a period in almost two years :(. but my advice stick with it!! dont change streaths so soon 6months is ok i have had a lot of heart ache,alot of crying,  one blelated ovun (miscarrige) a dnc,pcos, im heavy but with  a lot of prayers just wait good things will happen!! and im over 30!!
