Can't really comment on the pain because you don't say what the time
frame of events has been. It could be anything. If you have taken
clomid, it could be cysts forming. Some people require higher doses of
clomid(150 mg). Others benfit from metformin treatment in conjunction
with clomid. Others need injections.
Good Luck.
