It is making me feel very sick. The last time I went he said he wanted to up it to 200mg. This scares me a little. I have been on an emotional roller coaster since all of this started. I have heard that most Dr.'s won't start you on the injectables unless you have been trying for over a year. Does anyone know if this is true? We have only been trying for eight months to conceive. But so far I have not had a period or ovulated on my own. I have heard that the Clomid can actually make the PCOS worse. Is this true? Also does the Glucophage have any major side effects?
