Trouble TTC

Clomid Step-Up

Has anyone done a clomid step-up?  Did you ovulate on the step-up?

I was on 100mg of Clomid this cycle and had my CD16 RE visit yesterday and there was no progress with my follies (none over 10mm).  Clearly I'm not responding to Clomid at 100mg, so now they are doing a step-up (more clomid in the same cycle).  150mg for 7 days. Just curious if anyone else has gone through this and what your experience has been.

Thanks!

  • This is how I did all my  Clomid cycles. If I didn't respond I went right into the higher dose. The only times it was spaced out is when I started Metformin and when I had a follie but then a BFN.

  • Thanks for the information.  I had never heard of it before, so I appreciate it. 
  • I did that in my first of four clomid cycles.  They started me on 50mg, went in on day 12 and had nothing happening, so up to 100mg for 5 more days.  Ended up with one follie that I think was 17 so we proceeded with trigger and TI.  It was
