Clomid questions.

[Autumnlaughing]

Tomorrow I have an appointment with the OB/gyn to figure out what we're doing next + go over a new set of CD 3 lab work.

The previous "CD 3" (actually CD 85 or something..) lab work pointed to PCOS, so I'm assuming this will say the same thing. We've been trying for 2+ years, about a dozen (very irregular (28 day to ~100 day) and poorly timed) cycles. SA + HSG came back normal. I seem to be ovulating based on temp. charts - I haven't been able to track well any other way.

So, the Dr. said that the "next step" was clomid with IUI. They time the IUI with OPKs (mine aren't exactly definitive - I've seen positives + don't ovulate, and seen no positives and ovulated). I've never had an ultrasound - they don't do them anywhere in this process, either. I do have a lot of soreness around my ovaries (esp. the left), so I suspect that I do have at least a few cysts from the PCOS. They'll do the "clomid with IUI" thing three times before referring me out.

So.. if you were in this situation, what questions would you have?

I'd do it but not use OPKS. They obviously aren't reliable for you, so you could be wasting your money timing an IUI that way. I'd ask for u/s monitoring so you get it right. OPK's might be ok for someone with a text book cycle but its not for everyone. I have pretty regular cycles, but I get 3 days of positive OPK's when I use them.
