Is 100 Mg Of Clomid A Safe Dosage To Take While Trying For Pregnancy?
Question: Request : I want a very experienced gynaecologist of minimum 10 years to answer this question. Dear Doctor, After 1.5 years of trying for a baby with no luck, we decided to go for fertility treatment. I have polycystic ovaries (both) and hypothyroid for which am taking eltroxin. My gynaecologist prescribed 100 mg clomid straight away. I have heard that doctors start with 50 mg first. Now am really worried about side effects and ovarian hyperstimulation. Please advise. Am a married woman aged 27.

Kindly explain about the risk factors of ovarian hyperstimulation. is it possible with this dose??
Brief Answer:
In PCOD there is a risk
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Usually, gonadotropin injections like FSH and LH injections in IVF cycles have more chances of ovarian hyperstimulation in PCOS patients than Clomiphene.
In some patients, it can happen with even 50mg of Clomiphene.
The incidence of HYPER STIMULATION with oral Clomiphene is comparatively less. Even if it happens it can be detected early.
Since you have this anxiety kindly discuss with your doctor regarding the dose in your case.
Hope I have answered your query.
