Anyone ever had their Clomid dose reduced to 25mg???

mojo86 · Apr 11th, 2012, 14:03 PM

Hi ladies just after a wee bit advice. For the past two months I have taken Clomid 50mg days 3-7 and ovulated both times. First month the fertility nurse told me my levels came back high indicating I had ovulated more than one egg. Then this month they called me at home to say my levels had more than doubled this month and that although they couldnt be exact, they think I released 5-6 eggs this month. So now this cycle I am taking 25mg days 3-7. Just wondering if anyone has ever had this happen to them or anyone ever ovulated on such a low dose??
Thanks in advance and baby dust to you all xxx

hi mojo, not me personally but there is a girl on here called Lisa who got her bfp on 25 mg clomid not too long ago, if you do a search for 25 mg clomid it should bring something up, I'm pretty sure she posted a thread because she was worried being on a lower dose than she had heard of, good luck

How can they be sure how many eggs your releasing without a U/S?.
well if they think your overstimulating on 50mg then 25mg should work too. good luck.

When I was doing IUI I overstimulated (more than 3 follicles) on 50mg and they said I could try 25mg.

Thanks ladies! I am being monitored through urine samples. 4 samples over the month weekly after AF has finished. Apparently they can tell from that. They have said I will need US monitored next month if I over stimulate on 25mg x

Which hormone are they claiming tells them your producing up to 6 eggs?.

I have no idea what they measure would need to ask next time which will be two weeks today. I was just releived they were asking me to freeze my urine samples rather than come in for USS!!

Hi Mojo86

I have been reading these forums for some time but decided to actually join today after seeing your post. I have been diagnosed with PCOS and also told to use clomid days 3 - 7 they have started me off on 25mg and today is the first day of taking it. I hope that i'm lucky although I know not to get my hopes up too much the first time. They have told me to do the urine samples for 4 weeks too. Fingers crossed!

Hi Cherry! Your the first lady I have met on here that has done the urine samples! Everyone else seems to be USS monitored! I have to do a urine sample day after AF has finished and then weekly after that. I freeze them and then hand them all in together. Is that the same as you? Good luck on your first round of clomid you never know!! Some women on here do fall pregnant first round!! xx

I know you were the first I came across who had to do the urine tests too! Yeah I have been told to freeze them and hand them in together as well. I was thinking of using an ovulation monitor as well but not sure how well it would work if i'm taking clomid. I thought 25mg seemed a low amount so fingers crossed! xx
