Hi Fiona,
If your progesterone (P) was 13 (what? ng/ml or nmol/ml) on 50 mg/d clomid, why have you increased it to 100 mg/d in the first place? And if the P was worse on 100 mg why do you think it will be better on a higher dose?
Again, read my first letter carefully: there is no dose-effect relationship between clomid and ovulatiion. Your case is a typical poof for that.
