Clomid??

Hi ladies i have been ttc for almost 3 years and recently miscarried so i have a question about clomid. I have an apt tomorrow at my ob but i think its just for betas so i won't see my Dr to ask. I asked this question on another board but the ladies that responded didn't have experience with clomid so I'm wondering if you guys could help. I took clomid for 4 cycles. I got pg on the 4th one then miscarried on 5/10/13.  I want to ttc again ASAP and my dr said its totally up to me so now we are just waiting on AF. My question is I have heard that you can only use clomid for 6 cycles, since I have been off of it do my 6 cycles start over or do I only have 2 left?? Thanks!

    i am new to the bump and didn't know that you were not suppose to delete a comment. I responded to another users comment about how harsh some ladies were being. I didn't know the op had a history of posting on the wrong boards. The ladies then started on me so I deleted my post not knowing this would make them even more mad!

    I thought the lifetime max was 6 also but my RE was willing to do up to 10 cycles max. I got fed up after 7 and moved on. I must say that femara and injects are much easier to tolerate. Also, with my two losses, I was advised to wait for two periods before cycling again. I'm sorry for your loss and good luck moving forward.

    thanks. I know I will have to see what my Dr says but I'm not sure when I will see him again!! I hope your right. I feel like 2 of my cycles were a waste because of timing!!!
