Some background: I went off birth control and didn't get my period for a long time so I went to the doctor on CD99 and he prescribed me progesterone to induce my period. It ended up being a 120+ day cycle. I got an ultrasound and he did see cysts and along with my long cycles he said that was enough to diagnose PCOS (he did other blood tests/hormone tests and everything was in the normal range). Then, my next cycle I went to the doctor at CD150 and got progesterone again to induce my period. This time he also prescribed me metformin. I started taking that before the beginning of my current cycle and today I just got my period on my own (for the first time off bc without progesterone)! It was a 38 day cycle, so it is still a bit long, but WAY better than prior!

Now, I still don't know if i ovulated because i'm a TERRIBLE temper.... I'm the lightest sleeper every and can't possibly always wake up in the same 30 minute window. I don't think i've ever done that. So, I was thinking this cycle i should try OPKs to get a better idea of if i'm actually ovulating or not.

Any advice? Has anyone else used metformin to shorten their crazy long cycles?
