When I went in for an ultrasound a few weeks ago to see if i had any cysts forming from my clomid, my Dr. told me that not only did I not have any large cysts ready to rupture (I'd been having bad cramping) but that my ovaries looked "really good." He said he couldn't see any cysts at all and that they looked perfectly normal. So I said, "So does this mean I don't have PCOS like you thought?" and he said, "No, you still have PCOS." How can I have PCOS if I have no cysts on my ovaries? I'm confused....
Also, I'm going in for a follicle check tomorrow. How big do my follicles need to measure in order for my doctor to give me a trigger shot, and if I don't have any follicles, then what should my next step be, because obviously that will mean the clomid isn't doing a thing for me (this is month three 50, 100, now 150)
Thanks for your time!

PCOS is not a problem with the ovaries.. it's a misnomer as it's a problem usually due to elevated levels of insulin creating the syndrome
We usually want follies to be >18mm in size for trigger
