4 follicles on clomid

May 08, 2008

This is my first cycle of clomid. I took clomid(100 mg) days 2-6 and had a scan (4 days after taking the last clomid pill) I had 4 follicles. Size unknown.

We were planning on having intercourse this weekend but the doctor who did the scan said we shouldn't have sex as it may result in multiple pregnancies. The doctor has asked me to come in again for another scan in 3 days time. (Why?)

Has anyone ever had these many follicles and ultimately have one egg and successful pregnancy? I need your experience to try or not to try this cycle. Thanks.

P.S I am 37 years old, had 2 miscarriages in last 2 years and all blood tests normal but doctor suspects I am not ovulating properly because I have PCOS (without the Syndrome)hence being put on Clomid.

Thanks, Sarah Cassandro

In your case given your age I would not worry about having four follicles... you most likely would end up with twins and chances that all would be good enough to fertilize and implant are very small. In general for my timed intercourse/IUI cycles I usually like to see around 2-3 follicles.
