Discuss plans: It sounds like you don't agree wih his/her plan. Its very important for everybody's sake that each party agree with the proposed plan. Disagreements can be perceived as lack of commitment and so on.

Unexplained Infertil: It sounds like you are describing unexplained infertility.Most obgyns are limited in treatment they can provide for fertility but Clomid (clomiphene) is something they can do. To get more treatment or to rule out other problems you would need a fertility consultation with a specialist. For unexplained infertility, Clomid (clomiphene) alone has not generally found to be as effective as Clomid (clomiphene) combined with insemination.

May not help: Prescribing Clomid (clomiphene) alone for infertility when ovulation is not an issue may not improve the chances of conception. In fact higher dosage of Clomid (clomiphene) may actually decrease the ability to conceive. At high dosages of Clomid (clomiphene) the cervical mucus becomes thicker and the lining of the uterus becomes thinner impacting conception.
