I asked my doctor what she and the fertility specialist thought my chances were of conceiving on Clomid alone, without <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a> or <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a>.  She said that when she talked with the fertility specialist about my chances, he said that I should be "easy" (☺️) and would probably be pregnant within 3 months or less - because I didn't have any further complications other than just the cysts on my ovaries.  Since all of my bloodwork showed no hormonal imbalances - I wasn't the typical PCOS patient - my bloodwork lab tests didn't confirm my PCOS diagnosis (cysts confirmed via ultrasound), so I guess this is why he seems to think I should be able to get pregnant "easily" on Clomid.

I really hope he is right.  FX.

I just need to stay on track with eating right, taking vitamins/supplements, and ovulation/BDing.

I think I will be requesting a progesterone test for mid cycle - to confirm if the Clomid was successful or not.  But I am also wondering if I should bother?  If I don't get pregnant, in the first round, they want to double the Clomid mg; I however would like to avoid doubling.  If I can confirm that 50mg made me successfully ovulate, maybe it will help me convince them (if I don't get a BFP round 1) to let me try 50mg again for a round 2.  What do you ladies think?

I am also wondering if getting a follicle scan would be worth it?  I don't have real bad PCOS to the point that I have cysts burst and have painful twinges and the like.  However, I do worry about possible overgrowth of follicles, risking multiples.  When I told my doctor about these concerns, she said that she would talk with the specialist about it - but did inform me that multiples is a risk that you do take with Clomid since it stimulates the ovaries and can cause "overproduction". So I'm not sure about getting this scan either..?
