With my first pgcy, I conceived just with exercise and low carbing it. It took 6 mos until I conceived. When ttc #2 that didn't work at all. I guess the PCOS just got worse. It was strange, though, before my first, I hadn't been having any AFs and then once I started exercising and low carbing, I had them regularly. After having Asher, I had AFs (not totally regular, but anywhere from 42-60 day cycles. Once my doc put me on glucophage, my cycles became "regular" 33-35 day cycles, but I also had to exercise regularly. I didn't do the South Beach diet completely, but I did watch my carbs a bit. It took 10 months of having seemingly regular cycles... I charted and had times when it LOOKED like I was ovulating, but after the cycle I had when I conceived this one, I think that was the first time I really actually ovulated instead of my body "going through the motions" so to speak, of ovulating. My doc did warn me that it takes 6-9 mos for the gluc to really get in and regulate your system. For me it was 10mos, but the gluc made me so sick, I just stayed on 750mg. So, I feel pretty darn fortunate that it worked at all. In anycase, you should stay on the gluc for at least the first 12wks of pgcy, some docs, like mine, want you on it the entire pgcy. That's just up to you and your doc. If you are strongly insulin resistant, I'd bet your doc will have you stay on it as there is evidence that it helps prevent GD.

Most of all, keep your chin up. It is so difficult when it's just not happening (It was actually about a year and a half of trying/wanting/hoping with each pgcy for me.) It really sounds like your doc has you on a great program. I have a lot of faith in the gluc/exercise/low carb plan as it has helped me! It may take some time, so don't give up too quickly!
