A member asked:
I have pcos and started metformin cd 6 this cycle, now cd 18 & noticed ewcm for first time since coming off bc (8mths), could i be ovulating already?

Probably: Metformin generally works within 3-6 months .It is not unheard of for ovulation (as suggested by transparent cervical mucus)is about to occur. Alternate expalnation is that pco women may have such clear cervical mucus for days or months wthout ovulation.
