I was prescribed this drug due to the fact i am trying to get pregnant for the 2nd time and my PCOS is stopping me from ovulating. This works for getting my period to start, and then on days 5-9 i take clomid to force the ovulation. I should be pregnant within the next 6 months. At Least i am hopeful!
