This month my dr. put me on 200 mg of Clomid.  I keep hearing from everyone that the maximum dosage is 150 mg.  Am I taking too much?  Also, I am told that my progesterone level should be at least 15.  My first two months, I was only at level .8 with 50 mg and 100 mg.  Last month, I was at level 1.8 with 150 mg.  Do you think there is any hope of getting pg with my taking 200 mg?

Fertility Stories - infertility experiences of people like you.

I don't have any personal knowledge about doses - I read this question on inciid and... well, I guess you can read their answer as well as I can :-)

If you don't feel safe with the instructions this doctor has given you, you might want to consider getting a second opinion. With problems conceiving, like with any medical condition, it's important to feel confident in your doctor.

Good luck,

dosage is dependant upon basic parameters such as age, previous treatments and success etc. dose of 200 is a high one but it might be that your MD believes that this is exactly what you need, based on previous treatment. If

clomid does not work for you there are many alternatives...and chances to conceive nowadays are big! good luck

Thanks to Dr. Alon Shrim and to Rachel Inbar for the helpful info.  I'm 23 years old, so the Dr. probably figures my body can take it.

200 mg of clomid is not to much.b/c my dr.put me on 200 mg and got me on some sugar pill,and she said if that did not work she was going to give me 250 mg on clomid.
