Hi BW,
I too have PCOS and I am not a classic case. I may be a little overweight now but up until I was 23 I was as thin as a rake. So I used to get frustrated by doctors who said I needed to lose weight to get pregnant. As far as I was concerned I never ovulated nor had periods when I was thin for 10 years so why should losing weight be my answer. I also tried Metformin and it did nothing for me. So when I finally went to an FS with a clue about PCOS it was wonderful. The first magic words he said were 'well you're thinnish so weight loss is not going to help you.' How long had I waited for someone who saw my PCOS as an individual case! So I fully recommend seeing an FS who knows about PCOS.
The other thing my FS said about clomid was sometimes women with PCOS won't ovulate on clomid and the less likely they are to ovulate on clomid the more likely they will on injections. Although I really think you have alot of clomid attempts to try first. As my FS would put it 'with 50mg it is only really the smell of an oily rag.' There is still a lot of hope for you on higher doses.
