Any clomid experts? I don't know if clomid is working

I'm wondering if anyone is really clued up on clomid. I've done 3 cycles at 50mg days 3 to 7. Negative on all

I'm just wondering, is clomid actually working for me? Isn't the point to increase egg production ? I was ovulating as I had a chemical last year and ovulate but just late. Think 40+ days until ovulation.
Had 2 scans and they said only one follicle each time .
My question is , is clomid even benefiting me if I'm only producing one follicle ? Theres nothing more growing . Last month I didn't ovulate until at 37 of cycle and they didn't think the follicle looked right shape wise.
If I'm not growing more than one follicle Is it even increasing my chances ? I thought that was the purpose of clomid as it can trigger multiple follicles and increase chances of pregnancy. Is it worth looking into 100mg . I am 38 so age is probably a factor and I heard a doctor on YouTube say the hope is to recruit more follicles in the hope of getting a strong egg as you might have a couple but only 1 good enough to fertilise and reach blast anyway . If I'm only growing one won't it take a much longer time frame just to get one good quality egg? Would switching days up even make a difference. I was always told that was the purpose by the gynae to increase egg production and that the only reason for first scan was to check not too many . But it wasn't gynae who scanned me. Just regular nurse

It’s a long time since I conceived my son - he’s 13 now so I’m embarrassed to say I haven’t got a clue!

If you're producing 1 dominant follicle, clomid is working and upping it will just cause over stimulation and if you're being scanned then they'll cancel the cycle due to risk of multiples. You could try days 2-6 instead of 3-7? It's used as a first line for ovulation induction using timed intercourse rather than to produce a lot of follicles like you would do for IVF.
