Thank

Discuss with Dr: You may not need Clomid (clomiphene) to conceive after stopping Ginette. Some PCOS patients are able to ovulate and conceive just on Metformin and/or with weight loss. Try using ovulation predictor kit. iHowever, if you have been actively trying to conceive without success (on prenatal vitamins), see a Dr with expertise on infertility for further evaluation and possible treatment with Clomid (clomiphene).
