Unmonitored Clomid cycles?

Question

Hi all,
I start Clomid 50mg in the next few days. My Dr just said I have 3 refills if I need it...no monitoring. Only fertility problem is DH has 16 million sperm, they like to see 20. Is it safe to take Clomid unmonitored? I have no ovulation problems. Now I'm worried it could over stimulate and I'll end up with triplets... anyone else use Clomid unmonitored successfully?
Thank you!

Answer

I'm also on clomid Bc of DH sperm count. I'm monitored though. They use clomid to give better odds of what little sperm our DHs have to get an egg.

Im in the US --- my first cycle of clomid (50mg) was completely unmonitored. When AF arrived I called my OB and she put me on the same 50mg dosage for my second cycle but wanted to do CD21 bloodwork. If there is a cycle 3, we will be monitored at 100mg.

Answer

I did 2 cycles  of clomid for pcos.  We just did day 21 blood work on the first cycle to confirm ovulation.  No ultrasounds for monitoring.  From your post I'm not sure why your obgyn thinks clomid will increase your chances of conception?!

Answer

Is this thru an RE? Clomid twins are only like a 10% increase if that. I never been unmonitored. Personally I think it's a bad idea bc clomid is known to thin the lining. Also you should have a baseline before each cycle to ck for the lining and make sure it's not any leftover cyst from the prev cycle. Gl
