Can Progesterone Cream Help With PCOS?

I am concerned about a hormone problem that I have, which is PCOS. I have tried to go to different doctors but keep getting different answers. They don't want to give me the answers that I want.
I have been doing a lot of research and have seen different theories on my disorder. I was wondering if progesterone cream would help me with my PCOS and if I should use clomid with it to help get pregnant?

Hello
You are having PCOS ( PCOD ).
Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome ( Disease ) or cysts are often caused by hormone changes. Using birth control pill ( NOT PROGESTERONE AS TOPICAL CREAM ) can sometimes help regulate hormones levels so that the cysts can be taken care of.
Progesterone will act on cyst or not act, there is no any scientific proof till date .
As far concerned about clomid or clomifene , you can take it for conception because this is prescribed in anovulatory infertility .
Along progesterone you can take clomid safely .
In pcos there develop alteration in LH/FSH ratio.
