Hello,
It is quite possible that you may not be ovulating even after taking CLOMID.
In such cases,the dose of CLOMID is increased and it can be increased upto 250 mg.
You must also check for prolactin levels in blood as hyperprolactenemia can result in situation where CLOMID doesn't act.
Other methods for improved ovulation chances are..
Regular exercises and reduction of weight.It is said that a mere reduction of weight by 10% can help achieve ovulation.
Use of drug called as METFORMIN 500 mg twice a day for atleast 6 to 9 months.
It helps in reduction of insulin resistance and achieving ovulation.
Please consult your doctor and discuss about it in detail.
Thanks
