Starting Clomid
Hi, I have a son born when I was 43, conceived naturally first try. In the last few months I got pregnant twice, chemical pregnancies miscarriaged at 5-6 weeks. Doctor advised Clomid now to speed up process and get pregnant again soon (I'm 45 ). My cycle is 26-28 days. When should I have Clomid? Doctor said second day of cycle but I've heard of most women having it later? Is it better to take Clomid in the night? Should I fear severe side effects? Thanks for your help!

Hello!
Clomid is usually used for induction of ovulation in euestrogenic, normoprolactinemic, and anovulatory patients. Clomiphene is given orally, usually starting on cycle day 3, 4, or 5 for 5 days (cycle days 3-7; 4-8; or 5-9), where day 1 is the onset of menstrual flow. It should be given for no longer than three cycles and with proper monitoring. The dose of Clomid is started at a dose of 50 mg / day for 5 days in anovulatory patients. Each doctor has his own protocols for starting any treatment based on his own experience. You may take clmoid at night. Hot flashes, bloating, abdominal discomfort, mood swings, weight gain, nausea, dizziness are few of the side effects of clomid.Do discuss all your concerns with your doctor. I sincerely hope it helps.
Take care and regards!
