Hi everyone! My friend is unable to get pregnant on her own. She went to the doctor and had testing done, etc. Well I'm worried about her. She was given a script for clomid 50mg. She plans on using some leftover clomid from her sister in law and bumping it up to 150mg for her first cycle. What can happen to her? I keep telling her stick with 50 mg but she won't listen. She also won't listen to the doctor taking it days 5-9. She says she's going to take it days 2-6 instead.

She needs to follow doctor's order. if you take too high of a dosage it can cause her ovaries to hyperstimulate and it could cause major damage to her ovaries. She also should not be taking other people's prescriptions!!! Doctors are there to help not harm. They are trained professionals. If your friend wasn't going to follow what the doctor tells her to do, why bother even seeking help?

there is really nothing you can do KatieJ. As sad as this may be, your friend is an adult and she will need to live with the decisions she makes. Some people it may take 150mg of Clomid to actually ovulate. It only take 50 mg for me...it varies person to person. The doctors want women to start on the lowest dosage possible and gradually increase the dosage to achieve ovulation.
