Trying To Conceive. Prescribed Siphene And Hormonal Injections. Are These Safe And What Is Success Rate?
Hello. I am Divya, 28, married for the last 3 years and trying to conceive for the last one year. I weigh 68 kgs and am 5'4" tall.
My periods are a little irregular(34-35 day cycle) and my doctor has put me on siphene. I took 50 mg dose for 5 days last month and since we did not suceed the dose was increased to 100 mg. This is my 3rd pill of the dose today.
I wanted to know if there are any adverse effects of siphene and what are the chances of getting pregnant .
My doctor has also suggested follicular scanning this month....and she was talking about some hormonal injections when she locates a ripe ovum. Is she going too fast since this is only my 2nd cycle with siphene. Are those hormonal injections harmful in any way ? and what are the chances of multiple pregnancy with siphene and hormone injections. I'm very confused. pls help.

Hi,
Clomiphene is to be used when regular ovulation fails or when induction becomes necessary as in prolonged period of infertility when artificial methods are planned. A total of 6 cycles of treatment are usually given before moving on to other modes of treatment, along with increasing doses step-by-step monitoring the response. Most of the cases that respond do so within the first two months and the overall success rate is about 30-40%. The hormonal injections are meant to accelerate ovulation. There is a risk of ovarian hyper-stimulation and this is the reason for close monitoring. Hope this helps.
