Hi Teresa- Thanks for the info! I had the same problem with a male gyn
who kept increasing my dosages on BCPs...He made me not trust male
OB/GYNs at all! I've been married for almost a year and will probably
try to start ovulating next year sometime, and my female OB/GYN
recommended clomid, so it's good to have some info on that, too! I'll
pray that you get a + call from the doctor!!
