Thanks for the info. I looked up these websites and have now asked my
doctor to give me more tests. She wants to wait for my next period and
then give the LH, FSH, Estradiol and glucose tests. I know I am not
diabetic as I test myself with my husband's kit. But my doctor is not
willing to do much except give another dose of clomid 100mg and then
look at temp. charts and prob. do the progesterone testing. She says
that this is the std. treatment and will then send me to an RE if I
don't respond to clomid.
Keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks again.
Suba.
