After a couple of months, I went back to the doctor. I arrived around 5pm at the Medical City and I knew I was really really late. True enough when I got to my doctor's clinic, she and her staff are already outside closing up. Fortunately, when my doctor saw me, she decided to go back inside and just give me a prescription. We were not able to do a TVU so she just asked when AF arrived and prescribed me with Clomid + dexamethasone. She also told me to continue with my metformin.
Clomid: Day 4 - 8 (2x/night)
Dexamethasone: Day 4 - 15 (1x/night)
Metformin: 1x/morning + 2x/night
I found out that taking dexamethasone with clomid is not a very popular practice, at least for the girls at the GT Forum. Good thing that when I googled it I found results:
Dexamethasone has been given to PCOS patients and ovulation has been noted via androgen suppression. However, this is not regularly done as steroids have undesireable side-effects.
This combination is not routinely used for the aforementioned reasons, but may help PCOS patients ovulate with Clomid with possible consequences

Hopefully this combination would prove to be effective for me. I'm scheduled to see my OB on Day 12 and I'm crossing all my fingers on this one. =)
I hope the drug combo works for you sis :D I guess even with all the side effects of steroids, it outweighs the results.
