There is another oral med you can take called Femara (I think the generic is called Letrozole). I was prescribed it during one cycle where I had no response at all to the Clomid. It's supposed to have the same effect as Clomid and I think a lot of women have fewer side effects from it (I don't remember if I did or not).
