has anyone heard of/used low dose naltrexone?

I am just wondering if this has come up in conversations regarding fertility for anyone?  Someone told me tonight that she thinks that the OB/GYN I am seeing will prescribe it for me for my fertility issues....

Just trying to get some insight from the people I truly trust ;)

Dear wanting4#1-

There was some research a few years back suggesting that naltrexone was helpful in getting women who do not ovulate regularly to be more responsive to fertility drugs such as clomid, if the reason for the lack of ovulation was polycystic ovary syndrome. However I have not heard much about this lately, and naltrexone is not a mainstream treatment even for those women in whom it was thought it might help - women with polycystic ovary syndrome who do not ovulate and who do not respond to clomid.
