Hi InAnticipation,
I do not have PCOS but am anovulatory so have used clomid.
My first round was at 25mg -was not a great cycle -late and weak ovulation.
Next round at 50mg was more closely monitored(u/s to check follicle size etc) and I also had trigger HCG injection -Ovulated day 13 and BFP 13 days later. Sadly this PG ended in m/c at 7 weeks and many complications thereafter but nothing to do with the Clomid itself. So yes, it DOES work. 25mg did result in ovulation for me and maybe could have resulted in PG if continued at that dose so hopefully will work for you too. I assume you are having some form of monitoring - cd 21 progesterone to check on ovulation? Depending how this round goes, your doc can then decide on whether that dose is appropriate. Hope you get success very soon!
