PCOS: Congratulations on your weight loss! it's hard work. Your cycles may not return to normal monthly cycles until there is more weight loss/ exercise. Keep up the good work. Medication can only accomplish so much. If you are trying to get pregnant, clomiphene, prescribed by your doc, might be of immense help.
