I have no idea why my dr won't allow more clomid cycles. I think I'll bring up that most dr's allow 6. (Not 5.) Yeah, I was on 50mg. I knew the third cycle wasn't going to go as well, and my temps reflected that. Why I didn't push for more clomid cycle 4 I'll never know. 
I feel like I've been cheated.
As for plans after clomid, there are none. We refuse to do IVF for personal reasons I won't go into here. (No debates allowed! 
) And we can't afford IUI...if it would even make any sense to do that.
If this next cycle doesn't work, I think I may try yet another dr. In the back of my mind, I can't help wondering if I actually have pcos, or if the dr was just guessing. My DHEAS was elevated, and my FSH and LH are off, but backwards for pcos.
(My FSH is higher than the LH) I have other symptoms of pcos, but they could mean anything. (weight gain, extra hair, acne, etc.) My ovaries never showed the "String of pearls". Just tiny "dots" all over that looked like nothing. (I had just m/c too, so who knows what it could have been.)
I think the dx of pcos just gave me something to blame for the "unexplained infertility" I'd had since my first m/c.
I hate to be a pushy person, but I think I've just about had it sitting on the side lines. I'm going to take my mother's advice and type out everything I want to say to the dr. That way she can have a "hard copy" of what's on my mind. I'll be including web sites of info I've brought up with her before. She never seemed to believe me. Especially about the dosage of Metformin for pcos.
If I actually have pcos, then what would it hurt to take 1500mg?!
Kinda why I'm suspicious of the dx at this point, and thinking of seeing another dr.
so there's my rantings. sorry....
