The optimal Clomid dosage varies significantly depending on individual factors like age, ovarian reserve, and specific fertility goals. While 100mg is a common starting point, it’s not universally the best choice.
Lower dosages, such as 50mg, often suffice for women with milder ovulation issues. This approach minimizes potential side effects like hot flashes and mood swings, while still potentially inducing ovulation. A doctor carefully monitors response with blood tests and ultrasound scans.
Higher dosages, such as 150mg or 200mg, are sometimes necessary for women who don’t respond to lower doses. However, increased dosage also raises the risk of multiple pregnancies (twins, triplets, etc.) and ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). Careful monitoring is crucial at these higher levels.
Your fertility specialist will tailor the dosage to your unique circumstances. They will consider your medical history, test results, and response to treatment. They will adjust the dosage based on your progress, aiming for a single, healthy pregnancy.
Remember, exceeding the recommended dosage without medical supervision is dangerous. Always consult a fertility specialist for personalized guidance and to determine the safest and most effective Clomid regimen for your situation.
