So sorry to hear things are not going well for you. have you considered
herbal fertility treatment? It has worked wonders for many. I can refer
you to an egroup for just this if you would like. Instead of
injectibles could you doc fo invitro or artificial insemination? I know
these are usually a last resort but this is your body not his. I do
know that Aetna and Principals insurance pay for infertility but if you
have to get private policies they are expensive as well. Try the higher
dose of clomid and then consider going the natural route then I can
point you in a good direction to get you ovulating with herbs.
