The ovaries normally alternate ovulation but this is not exact and the same ovary may ovulate two or three months in a row. I would continue with the clomid. Remember, clomid only brings you into the ovulating population. The pregnancy rate in a normally ovulating woman is about 20% per cycle... Lynn
