HI ALL............I DID MY 1ST CYCLE OF CLOMID LAST MONTH ON 50MG NEEDLESS TO SAY IT DIDN'T WORK.. I AM ON PROVERA TO START OFF ANOTHER CYCLE.. AND THIS TIME I WILL BE DOING 100MG OF CLOMID..

MY QUESTION IS HOW MUCH WORSE ARE MY SYMPTOMS GONNA BE FROM THE 50 TO 100MG?????

WILL I HAVE THEM 2X AS BAD??
ANY RESPONSES WILL BE APPRECIATED THANKS

Not necessarily. You'll probably experience much the same as on the lower dose. Some women don't exeprience any side effects, some all, some a few. It's an individual thing.

I will tell you that about 2 years ago when I tried Clomid (50 mg - no O, then 100 mg - no O, and finally 150 mg - no O) I went insane. I had hot flashes all the time, depressed, moody - it was bad, so we stopped.

Now - I am taking 100 mg - this and first cycle I O'ed. But the differnece is that I am on Gluc. XR. In my opinion - I think the IR I have was causing it not to work and making my hormones terrible. So, now that I have a portion of my IR under control - the Clomid is finally doing it's job and my side effects are minimal.

Who knows - but best of luck to you.

Well, I am kinda the opposite. I started at 100mg and it worked to well so I had to go down to 50mg. I noticed I didn't have as many hot flashes at I did at 100mg, but that's about it, and even those arent that bad.

Good luck next round!

I went from 50 to 100, 100 then 150. None of it worked, but my symptoms were the same through it all. I was moody, and mean to dh, but thats all that happened to me. I think it is going to be different for everyone since it is all about hormones. Its hard to control, but try to stay relaxed and as stress free as possible.
