Kate,
I'm so sorry to hear about your dissappointing experiences. If you
haven't already, I strongly encourage you consider asking for an insulin
sensitizer. They are said to improve the odds of clomid and other
fertility drugs. I've included my favorite link just in case any of
this is unfamiliar to you.
Good Luck
Look at the section on Insulin Resistance. Sometimes it helps to bring
printed'ammunition' to the Dr's office-some of them aren't too well
informed.
