Question

Success with clomid after losses using clomid?

We have been trying for baby number one since April 2010. We have completed all the basic tests (hsg, ultrasound, sperm analysis, and thryoid test) and everything came back normal.

Here is my timeline.
1st clomid 50mg 6/26/2011
1st BFP 7/16/2011
Natural M/C 7/25/2011
2nd clomid 50mg 9/25/2011
2nd BFP 10/20/2011
Ectopic 11/7/2011

Now my doctor wants to up my dosage to 100mg of clomid without running any tests to see why I may be miscarrying. Anyone have advice or been through this?

I'm sorry for your losses I supposse the good news is you can get pregnant so maybe up the dosage will be helpful in sustaining the pregnancy I hada friend that had to stay on bed red pretty much her entire pregnancy because of a soft cervix I beleive but she was able to have a healthy baby boy. I have a 6 years old and had an eptopic 3 years ago, we are ttc since then it is a very hard process but hopeful. Good luck to you!!!

I am sorry you have had to struggle through these losses. I had a mc last Nov. and I still miss my baby as if it happened yesterday. In my opinion, I would go see another doc. just to get a second opinion about all this. A different pair of eyes to your situation might help.

Sorry for your loses. I too have had 2 miscarriages, one when using clomid 50 mg, the one in november from embryo transfer. We cannot afford anymore IVF at present so i was prescribed by my IVF specialist 100mg of clomid this month.The side effects of the clomid this time especially the hot flashes were much worse so i am hoping it will be all worth it. Some text say the higher the clomid dose the harder it can make to concieve because it drys out your cervical mucus.I am 41 an old duck however I have been producing plenty of cm since taking the fertile cm. We also have used the soft cups and the concieve plus lubricant. I am day 32 of my cycle and no period yet.I am usually 28-32 day cycles i felt ovulation at around day 18. for the last 5 days i have felt tired hungry and crampy hips sore lowerback and feeling very hot. I might have the courage to test in the next few days. Not sure if i could handle the dissapointment but baby dust too all! and best of luck with the clomid
