BW - sorry to hear the the first round of clomid didnt work for you.. I agree with the other posts that it can take more than 1 round and more than the lowest dose to get everything working.

From what you have said it sound like you are not happy with the Dr u are currently seeing for treatment.. if this is the case then I really do recommend looking for a change. I know it is a pain waiting to get into a new Dr, but a FS would know more about TTC with fertlilty problems (I am assuming this is the case) and also when you do get your BFP you would continue to see the same Dr and if u r not a fan to start with it could end up being a VERY long 9 months!

Re the Dr not giving any instructions to increase the dosage - I do know of some Drs who like to give the lower dose a couple of goes to see if it will work. I guess he IS a Dr and would know your medical history and has most likely made his judgement on all things considered - based on that I dont know if increasing the dosage on your own accord would be the best thing to do... Totally up 2 u, but maybe the Dr didnt increase the dose for a reason IYKWIM????

Whatever you decide to do (sorry i cant recommend anyone - my Dr was awesome but in QLD ) I hope it all works out for you and soon!!
