2nd Round of Clomid

Caryn03

So, I went into the doc's yesterday to check and see if I developed any cycst from my last round of Prometrium and Clomid. I was good, so they gave me the go ahead for the second round. I am happy and excited that I didn't have any cycst. So now, I am on Cycle day 4 today and I started taking taking my Clomid last night (CD3). I am supposed to take it for 10 days at 100mg. Has anyone else done this before? Usually I have heard of them upping it by 50mg, but not extending the days out. When I went to go pick up my prescription they told me it was unusual and not recommended for the 2nd round to take the clomid for a longer amount of time. They ended up calling the office back to confirm that is what they want. So, that is what I am doing. CD 3-12 I will be on the Clomid and I will go in on CD 16 to see how my follicles look and if they have matured enought for me to get the trigger shot. Anyways, I am just praying it works this round, but we will see and I am staying positive.

Also, if this round does work, I have heard that having PCOS your hormones can not work with you to help keep the baby. Should I be asking if there is something I will take during the first trimester or something to keep my levels steady? Since this is my first round not sure what to expect and ask.

I am back on Clomid. Here is how my doctor has me taking it.
1st month: 50mg Clomid for 5 days (CD3 through CD7) then sex every other day starting on CD 10 until ovulation is detected (I use BBT charting and an ovulation kit) - - - I didn't ovulate this month
2nd month: 100mg Clomid for 5 days - - - I did ovulate this month but no conception
3rd month: 100mg Clomid for 5 days - - - I didn't ovulated so no conception
4th month:150mg Clomid for 5 days (CD3 through CD7) then -(this was a pharmacist suggestion)- Robitussin three times a day for CD10 till ovulation - - - this month I did conceive but unfortunately at 10 weeks if found out that my pregnancy failed at 7 weeks.

So now I get to start again here in September, as long as my doctor clears me.
Hoping the best for you

So sorry to hear that.

Thanks for letting me know. So my first month sounds exacly like yours, except I stated at 100mgs. And I had to go in to see if my folicles were big enough to ovulate. And then if they were they would have given me a "trigger shot" to make me ovulate. Turns out the first month they weren't big enough so we started the 2nd month. I ended up not starting a cylce during the second month, so now I am on month three. I am taking the 100mg of Clomid, but for 10 days (CD 3 through CD12). I am on CD 10 now, so next week I go in to check the folicles again. Hopefully they are big enough so I can get the trigger shot to ovulate.

Thanks for your feed back.
