Do you ovulate on your own? If you're using clomid to help you ovulate, it's best to have a progesterone blood test done about 7 days after your expected ovulation. A number of 10 or more indicates that you ovulated and is high enough for a possible implantation. The reason it's a good idea to have this done, is because some women need a higher dose of clomid to ovulate, and if this is the case, you'd know after your first round. If the progesterone is low, indicating that you didn;t ovulate on 50 mg, then your doctor can give you a higher dose for the next month.

A fertility specialist (RE) will also do ultrasounds before ovulation to make sure the follicles are growing at the proper rate...but obgyns/regular doctors normally won't do this.

How long have you been trying to get pregnant?

Ideally, yes...but in general, it seems like regular obgyns do not follow up as much as a specialist (RE) does.
