Default TTC/Infertility

As PCOSers, some/most of us will have to have a little extra help conceiving. I was wondering what worked for you.
My son is 3 1/2 and I had 3 rounds of clomid before he grew!
This time, Ive been going to an RE for 1 year. Today is CD 4 and last night I started injections for the first time. Specifically, Bravelle 75iu (lowest dose because Im 28) with an Ovidrel HCG trigger shot prior to IUI. I havent been able to find any success rates online. Has anyone had this cocktail?
I know with PCOS we tend to have higher LH levels and the injections are usually straight FSH. Bravelle is FSH with 2% LH. I think it's similar to Repronex. Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you!

Honestly, both times I got pregnant when I lost a bit over 5% weight. I didn't take any medications. That 5% weight loss seemed to be the sweet spot for me.
