Question about Clomid and next step

Just wondering, what is the longest you should be on Clomid. I have heard 6 months, but then there is another topic that sounds like it will be like 9 months to a yr. I heard if mor than 6 months it can damage you or something. So, how long typically should anyone be on it? I'm on my 2nd round of it but my 3 month appointment (I have pcos and go in every 3 months) is next month. So I dunno what to talk about w/ my doc and shoudl I ask how long I will be on this?

i just finished my 2nd round myself. But the 2nd round I was with an RE, which I am guessing you are at an OB? I would see about switching to an RE which can help guide you better and they know more about PCOS typically.

I wouldnt do more than 6 consecutive months on Clomid. And I believe (but would ask a DR for sure) that after 4 cycles and it doesnt produce a pregnancy, I would move on to something else.

Ok kewl. I really like my OBGYN. He is the greatest and he knows a ton about the PCOS. Actually, in comparison to a lot of other people doctors on here, I think mine is one of the best. He has dealt w/ it a lot better than others have and I think he is great. So, for now I will stay w/ him until he says otherwise. Don't think I am just throwing out what you said or anything, I am not. I have thought about going to another. But my doc really has been great. :D

that is awesome! Mine wasnt experienced in PCOS and I had a negative time with them for years. I am glad that is not the case for you.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
