Default clomid dosage

Hi, I am new to the group and needing some info!
I am on my 4th cycle of clomid and we're trying to conceive our second baby.

I was diagnosed this past April but I'm pretty sure I've had it for the last three years...

anywho...the dr recently told me that on this 4th cycle I have to go up to 150 mg per day for five days...
well, I am convinced that I need 300 mg in order to ovulate. The doc said the highest they go is 150.

The reason I say I need 300 is because my progesterone level on day 21 of 50 mg clomid was .5, 100 mg of clomid was 1.0 and I think 150 mg will only get me to 1.5.

You need at least a 3 in order to ovulate.

Here is what I'm thinking, what if I take 250 mg on days 7 thru 9 rather than 150 mg on days 5 thru 9?

will this hurt me? what will it do?

You need to do what your dr says. I dont think Clomid goes up to 300, 150 is the highest. It is best not to self medicate, your dr knows what he/she is doing. if you do not like your dr, go for a second opinion.
it is also possible that Clomid might not work for you, it does not work for everyone. there are plenty of other options out there.

Clomid may not be your miracle drug. Clomid in higher dosages can thin the lining of your uterus, meaning even if you ovulate, and get preggers it may not stick. So you're better off going with another drug to cause ovulation such as Femara instead
