Question Question on Clomid

We had our first IUI an the doctor had me taking for the first round of clomid 50mg for five days. Well this IUI didn't work so we are going back in July to try another IUI again hopeing for a BFP. The RE nurse said our RE may up my dose of clomid, my question is what is the next dose up on clomid?

Our RE said I was responding great on the 50mg of clomid but seems to had been only one really good follice. My right ovary was responding but the left wasn't. Seems to had been only one follice this time. I've been reading it is best to have more than one follice to help get you pregant.

Did also have a hcg trigger shot too.

If your RE is gonna up your dosage the next time, it might be 100mg. Clomid increments are generally in 50mgs, but you should still check with your RE to be sure. Best of luck!!

Usually 100mg. If you're responding at 50, upping he dose may result in ohss. Best wishes!

Question

We will be going back in JULY when start my cycle again. The RE will let me know then. Our RE is really great working with us. The nurse said he may up the dose but she really didn't know but that is what she told me today on phone. Our RE was very pleased with the response on 50mg if he keeps me on 50mg hope the next time have more follices.

What do you all think?
