Hi Tinka,

Reading the start of your post, i thought that i had written it myself !!!

I too have just had my dose of clomid changed from 50gm to 100gm and from days 5-9 to days 3-7. I'm only up to CD9 so am waiting for ovulations, but i just wanted to ask you a few questions....

1. Are you being monitered throughout your cycle and having scans etc.

2. Have you ever got a positive result from an OPK.

I'm just asking these questions because i am on my 4th cycle of clomid now (2nd cycle back to back) and i have NEVER got a +ive from an OPK. My FS gives me a scan on CD12 to check my follicles and then gives me OPK's and tells me what days to check for 'o'. If i haven't got a +ive by the last day (usually to CD15-CD16 depending on the size of my follies) then they get me to have a shot of PREGNYL which makes me ovulate within 48hrs, and they give us the schedule for BDing.

I then go on to have a BT 7 days after ovulation (whenever that is) and then a week later PG BT.

My FS is over an hours drive away and they know that it's not easy for me to get over to them, so i pretty much only go over to have the scan at CD12 and the rest we do over the phone, and with my local pathologist and they send over the BT requests and prescriptions if necessary with all copies of all results etc going to my local GP incase i need to see him for anything urgent or whatever, and he still knows where i'm up to.

As for how many rounds of clomid - well my FS tells me that they really don't like to do any more than 3 back to back. After 3 and no luck, then they will give your body a rest for a bit or maybe look into other options. I know that they really wanted me to go 3 back to back just to regulate my cycle and if it doesn't work then we are going to try AIH.

Hope this helps a little bit, and if you want to chat further about it, just ask
