HI Zan,is your doctor doing anything else to monitor ovulation? It is
important to monitor woman with PCOS very close because we are at risk
for hyperstimulation even with just clomid..also some of us do not
respond to lower dosages of Clomid...Ultrasounds are usefull to find out
if anything is happening at all..along with a progesterone only at CD 21
to see if you actually Ovulated.4 months at 50mg and no pregnancy seems
to me would be an indication also to have your clomid dosage upped and
ultrasounds done.Have you contacted Standrord REI yet?They explain this
all very well.Also I don't temp chart because I ALWAYS have a low temp
no matter what so it doesnt work for me but I have found that the clear
blue easy OPK that Dr Cataldo recommended worked well for me this month.
Good Luck,Dona
