Anyone else feeling discouraged after several rounds of Clomid?!

This will be the 5th month my husband and I are TTC with clomid (12th month overall)... What's been challenging for me is determining when I'm actually ovulating and then also trying to make sure I time my pre-clomid checks so that I'm seeing my DR on the first day of my cycle and not missing it because I travel for work so much and also don't live 5 mins from the doctor... Starting to feel like in order to conceive, I have to put all of my professional obligations on hold. :( anyone else feel this way?! Also, what's the max clomid dose that your doctor put you on before you conceived?
