My husband says I needed to gain that weight, I just get so fixated on a number and can't focus on being healthy. If you remember I was also having hair loss problems, that has gotten completely better having gained weight back, it's all coming in gray but gray is better than the bald spots I was getting!!!

ARGH I don't like them upping your dosage without the monitoring.

What is your gut instinct telling you - 50 or 100 mg?? You ovulated on 50, right??

I think you need that weight!! Hang on to it, it's your ovulation security blankie. Every time you feel like it's too much, give it a little hug and remember it is helping to preserve your ovulation and up odds of pregnacy!!

Tarasue- let's keep each other in check! I too gained 4lbs last cycle and have not been able to lose it. I feel we both need it for our bodies to do what we want them to. Let's stick to the same cals and exercise regimen as we have been doing. I could use a buddy right about now! We will be each other's cheerleaders!

Sounds good xx!
Thanks Atomic, it did take my body twice as long to ovulate when I was down those pounds, so maybe there's something to it. I'm still 10-15 lbs lighter than when I convinced my boys.

I am guessing I ovulated. I had a positive opk, ewcm that changed to lotion-like cm, lots of cramping. I have never temped & I don't really want to start, one more thing to obsess over.

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?

I would compromise and take 50mg days 3-7. You know the 50mg worked before, and I am always hesitant to take high doses of medicine. Plus, your OB isn't monitoring you.

I'm sure Atomic will offer her thoughts!

The more I take, the more chance if multiples? Part of me would love twins, part of me doesn't want to do anything to add risk to a pregnancy. If I did the 100 mg, do you split it up 50mg at morning and 50 at night or do all 100mg at once?

I really think you should take just 50mg again, no later than CD3-7. I might even consider CD2-6 since you Oed on the late side last month. I would NOT up the dose to 100mg without being monitored, and especially not take 100mg earlier, unless you are okay with multiples! I wouldn't risk it though as I'm terrified of triplets. Regardless of dose, you should always take the full dose all together once per day.

I'm sure I gained a few lbs (must be at least 3, could bd as many as 5) JUST in the past week as I've been barely fasting and kinda snacking. I've been ravenous, sick to my stomach hungry oftentimes, though, so I believe my body needed/needs the extra food and cals. I especially have been craving fat & protein. I very much think our bodies know what's best and I try to listen to mine even I don't really approve/agree. I think atomic & XX are very likely correct about you needing the 5lbs. IF they aren't just water weight from the clomid.
