100mg of Clomid?

32 replies

Hi all

Just been told by the consultant that I should up my Clomid dosage to 100mg next month, as 2 cycles of 50mg hasn't worked. mY progesterone levels have been 2.1 and 5.3, "very low indeed" were the Consultant's words.

Did going up to 100mg work first time for anyone? Did you get (m) any side-effects?

TIA

I'll definitely keep you posted on how its going. I've been told to ring the fertility nurse at the hospital on day 1 and she will arrange a scan for day 12. Depending on what that shows I may have a scan on day 18 as well as I have a longer cycle, but they think if the Clomid works then it will shorten the cycle IYSWIM. Then I guess I will have my usual Day 21 blood test although I usually have it around day 25. I don't know, it all seems a bit hit and miss TBH, I wish it was more of an exact science!

Best of luck for next weekend if you are testing then.

By the way, what monitoring are you having?

Yep I definitely know how you feel. This might sound ridiculous, but I didn't even see 50mg as 'intervention', more just a helping hand, so that meant there wasn't really anything wrong with me. All of sudden I feel like I have a more serious problem to worry about.

Hope AF puts in an appearance sooner rather than later for you. Would love to hear how you get on with it. If I'm right about ov'ing then it was new year's eve or day, so AF due in ten days or so, sometime weekend after this one I reckon.

I know the feeling. I was so sure that 50mg of Clomid would work for me, as it does for a lot of people, and now I am staring 100mg in the face and trying to block out the voice saying "well what if 100mg doesn't work?"

What a cheery thought for the day! I'm CD31 at the moment and my cycles are usually 33 days (although wierdly last month was 42, perhaps as I'd been ill) so anytime soon really. Luckily we don't have a lot planned for the next couple of weeks so the timing for starting 100mg is pretty good.

What about you?

Thanks worrying, would be amazing but I'm not feeling too positive. Just feeling a bit like it might not ever happen at the moment.. Can't picture being pg anymore..

Anyway, enough wallowing. When are you due to start 100mg?

Hi highlove, ooh fingers crossed for you!!! I have read a gazillion a few Clomid threads on here and a few posts have said how it was after they stopped taking Clomid, ie to have a break from it or after the 6 months that they got pregnant the next minth. So don't rule it out!

Hi worrying am in the same boat - currently on a month if because the clinic couldn't monitor me over Christmas but due to start 100mg when AF next arrives. So no experience to share but bumping this in the hope we hear some nice positive BFP stories..

Very weirdly though, I think I might actually have ov'd this month while not taking any. Had lots of ewcm (which I'd never had till Clomid) for ages and then just as it was going away had aching and twinges on one ovary. Did SWI but not holding out any hope though. But odd considering I didn't Ov when I was actually taking it!
