Hello , iam 30 years old.trying for baby for 3 years.Had a miscariagge 2 years back and had empty sac.
I have been diagnosed with PCOS and had been put on metformin.Doctor have asked me to go with clomid and unsuccessful and finally i did my ovarian drilling 1 year back.Still have no luck and now i have already had 6 cycles of Clomid.My gynae had been injecting for my egg to release although the follicle measure 22.

Thanks for posting your query.

From what you have said, I infer you had ovulation induction for 6 cycles with clomid and ovarian drilling apart from injections for egg release.
The fact that you had a follicle of 22 mm is re assuring .
But you could have a condition called LUFS- lutenized unruptured follicle syndrome and this is more common with clomid.
You can still try ovulation induction with or without IUI , but instead of clomid or with clomid in lesser dose, you can use hormonal injections to induce ovulation.
I assume your partner's semen parameters are optimal and your tubes have been checked.
Taking metformin helps . Please continue folic acid during this process.
Wish you all the best, take care!
