Suggest Dosage For Fertomid While Having Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome

Posted on Fri, 20 Nov 2015

Question: We are trying to conceive our second child. (We have a daughter of 18 months). My wife did not get her period due on 26th October,2015 and hence we got the urine pregnancy test done but it was negative. The doctor has prescribed us to take Nostra (5 mg) for 3 days to get the periods. Further he has advised us to take fertomid 100 mg and tab normoz for 30 days along with tablet tab fol g1. Earlier when my wife had taken the ubiphene 100 mg in 2013 she was admitted to the hospital for due to OHSS. Considering this is it safe to take fertomid 100 mg or should be take 50 mg. Also if we are not supposed to take this medi is it ok to only take tab normoz along with tab Folg1 and wait for normal conceiving.

Brief Answer:
Ultrasound monitoring is most important.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Good to see you back.

OHSS is a dangerous condition which can recur even now since she has polycystic ovaries. I dont advice you takeing fertomid without ultrasound follicular scan.

Please see your fertility specialist for an ultrasound assessment after takng fertomid so that OHSS can be monitored properly and optimum response be obtained.

Meanwhile she can still start on normoz and folG.

Let me know if I can clarify your doubts further.
