I'd suggest finding a doctor who will work with you and is well informed
about treating PCOS. There is no blood test to confirm PCOS. It is a
clinical diagnosis based on symptoms. In addition to Clomid, I would
suggest looking into Metformin. This may stimulate ovulation too. I'd
search the Internet for information and inform yourself, so you have the
information you need to make decisions about your treatment.
