Clomid user. Tell me what you think....please?

I was diagnosed with PCOS due to high estrogen and elevated testosterone a few years back. I don't have the typical signs other than irregular periods/annovulation.

I have been taking Metformin the past 4-5 months at 1500mg.

I had taken my 3rd round of clomid at 50mg on Sept 3rd-Sept 7th, days 5-9 of my cycle. Since taking the clomid my cycles have been like clock work, 33 day cycle. I was suppose to start Oct 2nd but never did. That night I had period like cramps that lasted 15 minutes and then it was over. Every now and then I get short twinges of pain in my lower belly as well as lower back aches that last maybe a minute. My breasts are tender, very swollen and firm which is common for me about a week before my period is due, lasting until the end of my period.

Could I be pregnant?? I know right now there is a chance i'm pregnant but how high are the chances that my period is just late or the clomid didn't work this round?

What were your symptoms when you were pregnant?

Would appreciate comments and opinions from from everyoen but more so former clomid users.

Update:

I also got a yeast infection around the time I should have started my period which is quite uncommon for me because I nevr get them...

    I have PCOS myself ive had it for 10 years, and yes cloimd worked for me. I did 3 rounds and got my BFP 3rd round. I had all the same symptoms as U do. sore tender breast, twigs in ovarys, and lil pain in my back. Which i did think anything about cause i just tought it was my af coming on, And my DR told me that if i dont get my af by cycle day 36 take a HPT so i did and it popped up in less then 1 min (PERGNANT) i was like OMG what 4 real im really pregnant. im 25 and have never had a BFP ever in my life. Oh and i also had a slight yeast infection nothing to bad and it went away on its own in a week. But If i was u id take a HPT asap and if still neg go get a blood test, The HPT i used was clearblue easy dig.

    I Wish U the very best of Luck and tons of sticky baby dust

    Clomid didn't work for me and gave my so many painful cysts that caused crampng. (which I heard is common for PCOS patients using clomid) I've only used it once so I would have to try it again to determine if it would help me get pregnant. Also, clomid can cause you to ovulate later in your cycle. You may have ovulated late or you may have cysts like I did that cause cramping. OR you may be preggo (which I hope you are) I would act like you are pregnant (no drinking, eat right, vitamins) and take a test now. If nothing shows up, take another test next week if you can wait. The Dollar Tree has good pregnancy tests if you want to buy a bunch and not waste a lot of money. They work as well as the expensive ones. Oh yeah, I was also diagnosed with PCOS because of annovulation/blood work. I have ben trying to get preggo for 14 months. ****BABY DUST**** Let me know what happens. :-)
