Did you know about 60% of all 'unexplained infertility' ends up later
being diagnosed as PCOS? Have your friend check with an Endo to be sure.
Also tell her to check for Cushings as PCOS and Cushings are a lot
alike.
Sounds like you have a very mild case of PCOS. This is a Godsend.
Injectionables dont always work, especially for the more hardened cases
of PCOS. Make sure you continue on being monitored by your Endo/Repro
Endo for the rest of your life. PCOS gets worse with age.

I am currently taking Clomid and it does not seem to be working fast enough. Currently, I am taking 100mg daily. You can get your dose increased if to stimulated your ovaries better. Personally, give it a try. Clomid does have a success rate with some PCOS people like us. I am getting to the point of just getting an IVF. I am wasting alot of money going to the doctor every month using the same method. They don't realize the frustration that we go through.
