The Clomid should help you ovulate. I do not know of anything that I would recommend to someone ttc who wants to lower testosterone.

You may still have PCOS. Only about 50% of us are over weight. Some of us have regular periods. With the increased testosterone, the lack of ovulation and the cystic ovaries, I am wondering what your LH and FSH levels are. Are they in a 1:1 ratio?

Also, what test was preformed that told you that you do not have and insulin problem. Was it a fasting insulin test or was it a glucose tolerance test with insulin levels measures at regular intervals. This test you would remember as one were you had to have blood drawn, drink a soda, wait, have more blood drawn, wait, have more blood drawn, etc. The minimum that this test should be is a two hour test. If you had any test other than this, it may not have shown an insulin problem even if you had one. Again, you do not have to be overweight to have insulin problems.

If you feel that you do *not* have PCOS, you may be able to find an infertility board or a board that deals in polycystic ovaries without the syndrome.

-- Hope this helps,

Belle
