    Default Starting at 500 mg, no plan to up dosage

    I'm reading where others are starting 500mg and working up to 1000, 1500, 2000 mg per day.

    Is it common for there to be no plan to up the dosage? I just started yesterday and have a follow-up on March 13.

    Curious, this is all new to me.

    The first time it was prescribed to me, I was instructed only to take one pill a day. I was not TTC and had just been diagnosed.

    I started at 500 mg. in November and my doctor doesn't want me to up my dosage for some reason. I am TTC and a thin cyster and he said it could be too much for me to handle! I don't know if I trust that though...I want to up my dosage! I have had three periods (currently have one) since I started! My doc said that if I am not pregnant by May that we are going to start clomid then. Good Luck!

    I am only on 500mg a day and am not sure if my doc is planning on upping my dosage. I did get AF back, which was the reason for starting the Met, so I guess it worked!
