higher clomid dose = earlier ovulation?

[Caittune]

I'm waiting for AF to start on my 4th clomid cycle. I haven't gotten an ovulation date before day 19 except the first cycle, and this latest one I didn't ovulate until day 21. I'm spotting now, so it is a matter of time till AF shows.

I need to figure out what to do next. I was on 50mg to begin with 5 to 9 and the last two cycles were 100mg, one on 5 to 9 and the latest 3 to 7.

I'm just wondering if there is any point to bumping up the dose, or if I should be looking at a more intensive program.

I'm 33 and we have one little one, who was a clomid baby and we have not used any sort of protection since she was a year. So two years semi ttc.

Taking a higher dose or using it earlier in my cycle didn't make me O any earlier. In fact when the dose was bumped up to 150 I didn't ovulate at all that cycle and had to go back down in mg for the next cycle. If it's causing you to ovulate then it's working! I wouldn't mess with it much. You might try doing CD 2-8 (7 days or 10 days).

Hrm, the doc did up my dose, and unfortunately took her sweet time about phoning the prescription in. So, I ended up taking my first dose late on cd 3. I'm on day 5 now.

Thanks for sharing your story with me. I am ovulating, but I think it is weak, as my LP was only 10 days the first cycle of 100mg and last time it was 12.
