Attempt question...

Today is cd 3, I think I will take the first dose tonight. 50 or 100..... That is the question!!! Can you take it like you do soy ISO. & increase the amounts. For example take 50mg the first two night and 100 the last three nights?

I've never heard of clomid being taken at different/increasing doses on different CDs like SI, so I wouldn't recommend trying that. The most experimental dosing I've seen is taking it for more than 5 days, I've seen up to 10 days.

I did a little googling (so feel to ignore me) but it sounds like some women are put on 100mg of clomid right from the start. I would just do the 100mg of clomid and hope for the best. You can't take it many cycles so if your Dr. gave you an increased dose I would take it- but I understand your hesitancy, especially since you aren't being monitored and your Dr. has made questionable choices in the past. Good luck on whatever you decide!

I am less than happy with my ob, but I don't have many to options here..... Remember she prescribed the provera, spur of the moment, I took two days then realized I was actually pregnant. She seems to just throw drugs at patients who have questions about fertility, instead of actually seeing them.

I took 50mg cd 4-8 last cycle, what are your thoughts on this cycle? I thought about moving it up to cd 3-7, thoughts?

Yes I do remember that. :/

In that case I'd stick with 50. That happened to another member on here, the doc just kept upping the dose when she didn't get pg (even tho she was ovulating) and she ended up with OHSS in one month, then twins the next! (she did get a girl though)

3-7 is good too. No one is really quite sure of the difference.

Do look on the bright side in one arena - tons of gals on here would love a doc who would throw Clomid in their general vicinity LOL.

Keep that weight on and let's move forward from here. :)

They typically have had bloodwork or some other medical history that indicates it, or are being monitored

I think there is at least somewhat higher chance of multiples - but a lower dose is NO guarantee that you won't get multiples!!!

Remember, people have gotten twins, triplets and beyond on Clomid too.

That is what I thought but of course my thinking is that more must be better (LOL) :D I'm glad a voice of reason stepped in! :)

When I was monitored on clomid the FS put me on days 2-6, anyone know a why people do different days?

100mg is standard starting dose for ladies not Oing on their own, but since tarasue is I think she should really stick to 50mg.

Some drs think taking it later reduces chances of multiples but that isn't proven. But it does affect when you O, as O happens on average 7 days after your last dose. Some drs will assign certain days so that you O around the time you usually do, or later if you're Oing too early. CD3-7 is the middle ground.

What's ohss?
