Should I increase Clomid dosage to 100mg ?

[redBlues]

I had two MCs so far.The first one was due to bad egg and it was a natural pregnancy.It was very ahrd on me since I did not kow anything about this stuff....

One year later,I got pregnant with the first cycle of Clomid (50 mg),but I MCed at week 11...

Now I'm getting ready for the second cycle of Clomid...According to my OB I don't have any issue and should keep trying .....

Now,since my MCs were due to bad egg ,I need to know whether or not I should increase Clomid dosage to 100 so I could produce healtier eggs..I mean  is it how it work..If I increase the dosage,can I somehow produce a healthier egg.My OB says 50 mg is fine ,but I feel that she is taking too easy and slow..Im already 36 and had two MC...I don't want more MCs....

I know that how dosage comes with little more risk such as less CM,thinner endo.s etc......

What should I do..should I increase it for the sake of producing healthier egg or should I stick to 50 mg...

Thnx

Hi!  I'm sorry to hear about your miscarriages.  I'm no stranger to that.  I know that it is hard and very emotionally painful.  
Now, about your question regarding the clomid dosage, I feel that your doc is probably right, and yes, she is being conservative too.  If the 50mg dosage is yielding results i.e., helping you produce mature eggs, she is not going to be easily persuaded to change you over to 100mg.  While it is true that clomid helps you make healthier eggs, if the 50mg dosage is already giving you eggs, the assumption is that they are as healthy as they can be.  Your doc will be inclined to make it a 100mg dosage if you were not producing eggs with the 50mg one.  Having said all of this, if you go through two more mc's on this dose, she will probably consider changing it to 100, based on the "failure" rate.  That's just what I've heard and seen throughout the years.  At that point, she may also recommend assisting the process by doing artificial insemination.  It's simple, easy, cost effective and helps a fair amount of women.  

I'm going to tell you what many people are probably already telling you, try to be a little patient and give your body time.  My advice to you is to try to cultivate your spirit, and body by eating right, exercising and controlling stress.  TTC is an extenuating process.  It's good to be vigilant of the docs, but you are still at a point where time is needed.  

I know that this is all better said than done.  Believe me!  I know this first hand.  I'm 39 and have gone through it all.  It's hard, but it's a must: try to stay as relaxed and calm as possible.

Good luck, and keep us posted!.
