Hello all, After a year and a half of tests, I have finally been prescribed Clomid 100g daily over day 2-6. (I haven't been ovulating) This is my first month of taking and am being monitored by the hospital by regular vaginal scans. I now have 2 13mm follicles with eggs! on day 11. I have to have another scan on day 15 to see if I need a hcg injection. Has anyone succeeded on clomid? Or are going through similar to me? Would love to hear from you.

Thank you

Sorry to hear about your day 12 scan. They could up your dose of clomid? What is metaformin?

I went for the scan yesterday for them to say I was ovulating, although it hasn't shown up on the test sticks! I have another scan next Tuesday. This is all becoming very time consuming and tiring, but hopefully will be worth it.

Good luck to you all.

My consultant mentioned something about AMH guiding drug levels,so I suspect your AMH is the reason you have gone straight on to 100mg.

Two eggs might be released but it doesn't mean that two would be fertilised (and even if they were it is very common for one not to make it past the first few weeks - people who have early scans know about this but many reach their 12 weeks scan and find one foetus and that is all they ever know about).

hi highlove

they put me straight on 100mg, I don't know why. Do you think it could be age related? As I am now 39, I also had an Amh test that gives you an idea of egg reserve. My result was 1.95-that is very low. I have had scans twice a week since the 1st clomid tablet, it's annoying, but at least I'm being monitored correctly. They found no reason for my not ovulating. They probably will do the progesterone test, I've ad that before and te result was low at 21. My husband is petrified of twins and since he's heard the 2 eggs, e as gone into panic mode!
Don't know what that means anyway. Would 2eggs be released. X

Hi brookesr I'm just about to take my first dose At 100mg tonight. Have been on 50mg for the last two months, ov'd first month but very late and then didn't the second. So am really hoping 100mg does the trick, have been finding it all a bit stressful. Like you I'll be monitored via scans. Will you also have a 7 DPO progesterone test?

Were you put straight up to 100 without trying 50 first? That's unusual, I think. If you don't mind me asking, do you know why you don't Ov? I don't have PCOS; problem seems to be that although the follicles develop perfectly for some reason they don't actually 'pop'. I even had the trigger shot on the second month but no joy.

Two 13mm at day 11 is fab, sounds really promising. Lots of, ahem, quality time with your OH the next few days is in order!
