I saw your post and could not help but throw in my two cents since I have been through the EXACT same thing. Yes, obviously you are not responding to the Clomid, but the reason may be that you are having an insufficient LH surge. Your LH has to surge and once that surge is detected, you will more than likely ovulate within the next 24 hours (or so I have been told and read). Is your doctor checking your follicle size with ultrasounds? Is he/she doing any kind of blood work to monitor hormone levels like estrogen, progesterone, and LH? I would seriously be questioning him if he is not doing these things. If they just did testing of your LH level at least, that would tell them that you are not having a sufficient LH surge and that they should take measures to help you out. They can give you a trigger injection of either Ovidrel 250mcg or Hcg to make you have an artificial (but effective!) LH surge. I was not surging on my own enough after doing 50, 100, then 150mg of Clomid, so finally at the 2nd round of 150mg they saw insufficient LH surge and had me do the Ovidrel injection and lo and behold, I got pregnant (although later miscarried at 10 weeks due to insufficient progesterone level, even with being on 600mg of supplemental!). So, I would really speak my mind with your doctor as ask about the testing and the ultrasound monitoring. Feel free to post again and let me know what you have been doing with ultrasounds and tests so that I might be able to give you more exact help with why you aren't responding to the Clomid. I am not a medical professional by a long shot, but after having been diagnosed with this 13 years ago and been TTC for over 3 years now with trying different treatments, I feel that I should help others out with my two cents when and if I can. Another word of advice...you might want to mention to your doctor about Avandia, another insulin-sensitizing agent similar to Metformin but in another drug class. I did not ovulate on Metformin at all, and still did not ovulate on the Clomid or even have a cycle on any of that. HOWEVER, I just started on Avandia 8mg a day a little over two weeks ago and already got a period which is really unbelievable for me...it has been 12 years since that has happened, so now I am going to start testing for ovulation (since there was really no point before since I was not ovulating at all). You might just want to bring this up...just some food for though. Best of luck to you and I hope you get some satisfaction from your doctor. If not, I say move on...he should not give up on you that easily!
