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

[mojo86]

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

 

[lisap2008]

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

 

[mojo86]

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!

 

[mojo86]

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

Hey there Mojo, I was initially on 50mg for my 1st cycle last year, the FS said I had overstimulated too, so they put me onto 25mg. I did 6 cycles last year, and now since having a laparoscopy am on CD28 of my first cycle since the op. They measured by hormone levels via the 21day blood test, and looks like I am ovulating perfectly with this dose. We have another 2 cycles of this dose before we head down the IVF trail hope it doesn't come to this.

Baby dust to you!

It was me!!! Good memory Lily! (How are you btw?!)

I did 2 rounds of Clomid 25 mg. I still ovulated late, cd 22 and then cd 24 my BFP cycle. So, I'm not 100% convinced it was the Clomid that made me ovulate, because I was sometimes ovulating on my own, but still late (anywhere from cd 25-cd35).

But it sounds like 50mg was a little too strong for you, so 25 mg will be perfect!! Lots of luck and !!!

Hi Lisa, it's nice to hear someone ovulated on 25mg on my third day of clomid and keeping everything crossed for ovulation. Xx

Lisa!!!! I have missed you How have you been? I am much in the same position as I was the last time we talked, hope you and bump are doing well x

 

[Lisa92881]

Hey Lily! I just happened to be looking at the LTTTC board to see if I could offer any help or advice, and saw this thread. Nice to hear from you! I hope you're doing well, sorry you seem to have stalled a bit. So are you doing round 2 of Tamoxifin?? I am doing great thanks. My pregnancy is going so smoothly, I haven't even gotten sick once! I have been super lucky and I am so very thankful.

 

[Little_Ratbag]

Lisa - I am intrigued to hear that you ovulated so late and still got preggers. What day of the cycle did you test if it was so late?

 

[Lisa92881]

I tested on cd37, which was 13dpo, because I know from charting I have a 12 day LP.

 

[Lily7]

I am cd 9 of my 4th round of tamoxifen now, nothing much happening, glad everything is going smoothly for you x

Well it looks like the Tam is at least making you ovulate, that's half the battle!! I hope this is your lucky cycle, you have waited long enough and you deserve it!!
