Clomid and follicle size

[amulet2007]

I'm 41 and trying to conceive my 3rd child.  My first two children conceived naturally.  However, my second was born with chormosnal defect..so this is reason I have seeked out help from fertility specialist.  I just wanted to make sure that cycle monitoring was checked for me to make sure FSH and other requirements to support pregnancy are normal.  Anyway the doctor insisted that I go on 25 dose of Clomid to help me out a little due to my age.  I took the first round of Clomid for this cylce 3-7 days and as they started monitoring my approach to ovulation my lead follicle size was 27 (too big).  Please note that we they monitored me without clomid my follicle size was 23...so my question is should I try to conceive with a follicle of this size or should me miss this cylce?  Also, what impact is it that the follicle is too big????

The folicle is just the inflamed tissue that surround the egg before it is released. It then produces progesterone for the first 12 weeks you are pregnant so I would say a good sized if not big follicle would be good. I know mine on the clomid reached approx 30 right before ovulation and I think the only side effect was more servere ovulation pain. Good Luck I hope you get your bfp soon.

PS I was on 100 mg and am now pregnant with twins off of my third cycle so watch out you may get more than you bargained for.
