I'm sorry to hear that you've been diagnosed with PCOS hun. I have it as well. It would take far too long to list them all here but there is a really great forum for women with PCOS to ask questions to other women who have gone through the same thing. It's www.soulcysters.net
You can find answers to all your questions there as well as support from a lot of great ladies.

metformin, insulin stabiliser.
progesterone, hormone released after ovulation or during pregnancy, used to bring on a period - provera.
clomid, hormone treatment egg ripener.
I will have a look for some more stuff for you. BRB
HCG, human chorionic gonadotrophin, pregnancy hormone, injected to release egg to ovulate while on fertility treatment.
CM, cervical mucus.
Is that enough to help? If you need more help I'm around here all the time.
