Angry with my body and probably time for an intro.

Hey Everyone, I'm Hope
I've been a pretty hardcore lurker since January and figured it was probably time to come out with and intro.
DH and I have been married for almost two years. We have been TTC for a year officially this month however this is only my eighth cycle.
My TTC Journey:
I have fairly long cycles usually between 45-48 days. In March I went in for my yearly and my OB decided to put me on Clomid for 3months. He said if it takes the average couple a year to get pregnant and I was only having one cycle to everyone else's 2 or 3 with that logic it would take 2 to 3 years to get pregnant and he thought this would make me ovulate more regularly. I filled my prescription consulted with my GP and my closest friend who is doing her residency for OB/GYN all who said go for it. I had read the things on the board and was very put off. My husband and I felt like it was total fear Mongering and that we had no idea who these people were and that they certainly were not Doctors. We proceed with my OBs plan. On my first Clomid cycle I had positive OPKs and what I thought were ovulation cramps all around the right time. After BFN and no period around CD 35 I called my OB and they wanted me to start provera so I could move on to the second cycle. Well I figured I'm close enough to 45 days so I'll just wait and start like normal. Well I didn't at day 56 I called and made an app with an RE I went in on CD 73 for my new patient app. He confirmed that I do not have PCOS and DH SA came back great. He looked at my ovaries and said well it looks like you are about to ovulate within the next few days. Go home and BD and we will see you in two weeks if you start or get BFN. So of course I started. Went back in and they did another ultra sounds and found a large cyst on my right ovary. They put me on BC for two weeks and had me come back in to check on the cyst. The U/S showed my cyst had shrunk but the kept me on the BC so that I wouldn't hit my FW during vacation. The RE doubled my dosage to 100mg CD 3-7 and I went in on CD 10 which was this past Monday. I had a 15mm and 13mm follicles on my left side and some very small ones on my right. He said he thought I would ovulate at the end of the week possibly in to the weekend. He told me to start OPK on Wed and BD every other day till I get a positive and then when I got a positive that day and the next.
Well it's Sunday and still no positive OPK! I did have cramping and watery CM and EWCM Thursday and Friday. But I am so frustrated. I'm sick of peeing on things I'm sick of OPKs and I'm sick of my body not cooperating! Any advice or thoughts on what's going on would be greatly appreciated!
Lastly I would like to say thank you. My opinion of this board was not the best and was completely wrong in the beginning. This community has been such a source of comfort, information, understanding, and stress relief for me and I could not be any more grateful! Thank you thank you!
Ps please ignore grammatical errors it's my day of rest and that includes my brain

No I didn't mention it I was on vacation from 8/19 to 8/24 and could not seem to wake up hahaha. It was a real struggle! I typically take it at four am every morning.
I'm wondering if your RE would consider giving you a trigger shot to make you ovulate when your ollicles are big enough. I wonder why he hasn't done that yet? also, I would've expected to do more ultrasounds after the Monday one. Maybe on Wednesday or Thursday or Friday to see how your follicles were growing. It's possible that you need to see a different reproductive endocrinologist or maybe you just need to ask him to do more for you.
You definitely have not ovulated yet, on your chart. Maybe you could call Your RE tomorrow and ask him to do another scan?
