Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
As you are suffering with PCOS, you should take metformin continuously.
Movements in abdomen can be bowel movements.
Clomiphen is used to stimulate ovulation in patients suffering with PCOS.
Low doses of dexamethasone can be given simultaneously to suppress androgen production from adrenal gland.
If clomiphen doesn't work, a new anti-estrogen called Letrozole can be used.
Clomifen resistant women suffering with PCOD, may need HMG(gonadotrophis) to induce ovulation.
Difficult patients may require a combination of GnRH analog and HMG to induce ovulation successfully.
Please consult your Gynecologist for examination and proper treatment.
Thanks for trusting Healthcaremagic and posting your query.
Hope you found my response to your query informative and helpful.
With good wishes,
Dr.Chandra Shekhar Sharma
