Your doctor will determine the correct Clomid dosage and treatment plan based on your individual medical history and response to treatment. Typical starting dosages range from 50mg to 100mg daily for 5 days, usually starting on cycle day 3 to 7. This is just a common range; your specific dose might differ.
Adjusting Clomid Dosage
If ovulation doesn’t occur at the initial dosage, your doctor might increase it gradually, perhaps to 150mg or 200mg daily for 5 days in subsequent cycles. However, dosages rarely exceed 200mg daily. Higher doses don’t necessarily guarantee better results and can increase the risk of side effects.
Treatment Duration
Clomid treatment typically lasts for a few cycles, usually up to 6. If pregnancy isn’t achieved within this timeframe, your doctor may recommend alternative fertility treatments. Regular monitoring via ultrasound and blood tests helps track follicle growth and ovulation, guiding dosage adjustments and treatment duration.
Side Effects
Common side effects include hot flashes, headaches, mood swings, and visual disturbances. Inform your doctor immediately if you experience any unusual symptoms. Remember, careful monitoring helps mitigate potential issues.
