I have PCOS as well. I never ovulated on clomid alone. We did a combo of clomid, repronex injections, lupron injections, and the trigger shot. It was our 4th IUI. The combo of the clomid and injections is what worked for us. I am currently almost 31 weeks pregnant with triplets. Good luck!
all of my boys (2 pregnancies) are from clomid, metformin, trigger + back to back IUIs. I took the clomid CD3-7. The cycle I got the twins i also took wheat grass pills from CD1 until IUI day --- it was the only cycle (out of 3 total) that I had 2 follies on - so perhaps it worked. I also have PCOS.
Not sure if you have posted on the SAIF board- but you'll find many more successes there... here there will just be the successes that had multiples- which is far less than the successes with singletons.
I'm so sorry for the loss of your LO.... my heart breaks reading your sig. I wish you the best of luck in 2010 - prayers for you!!
Just wanted to say "hi!" - I recognize you from the TTCAL board.
We did 50mg Clomid (cd 5-9), trigger on cd 14 and IUI on cd 16. It worked for us but my issue wasn't PCOS, it was more for egg quality/LPD possibly contributing to RPL.
I, too, have PCOS and I did metformin + Clomid for 4 cycles, and ovulated on Clomid, but it never worked. My success story was my 2nd round of metformin + Gonal-F + Ovidrel + IUI (see sig). GL!
7/2009 - Gonal-F cycle #2 with Ovidrel trigger and IUI #5 - BFP!
Twin boys born at 38 weeks 3 days!
8 months later...spontaneous BFP! And twins again!
I dont have PCOS, just generally crappy ovaries. My success was with 50 mgs clomid, 75 ius follistim, 75 ius menopur, trigger and estrace. I oed on my one clomid alone cycle but the IUI was canceled because of egg quality.

Either way, good luck to you!
I also have PCOS - My success was with 50 mg clomid alone on cycle days 5-10. I got pregnant after 5 months - with twins. Good luck to you.
I'm also so sorry for your loss and thinking of you.
