Different: So having a period does not mean ovulating. Provera (medroxyprogesterone) may cause you to have a period but it will not cause you to ovulate. Metformin can be effective but it not usually as good as clomid. If you ovulate about a 20-25% chance of conceiving as long as there is no other contributing factor to infertility.

Varies: About 75% of women with pcos will ovulate with clomid (clomiphene). About 75% of them will conceive with in the first 4 cycles. Some of the others will eventually conceive if they continue to ovulate with the clomid (clomiphene).
