Suggest Dosage Of Fertomid

Posted on Fri, 20 Nov 2015

Question: We are trying to conceive our second child. (We have a daughter of 18 months). My wife did not get her period due on 26th October,2015 and hence we got the urine pregnancy test done but it was negative. The doctor has prescribed us to take Nostra (5 mg) for 3 days to get the periods. Further he has advised us to take fertomid 100 mg and tab normoz for 30 days along with tablet tab fol g1. Earlier when my wife had taken the ubiphene 100 mg in 2013 she was admitted to the hospital for due to OHSS. Considering this is it safe to take fertomid 100 mg or should be take 50 mg. Also if we are not supposed to take this medi is it ok to only take tab normoz along with tab Folg1 and wait for normal conceiving.

Existing case PCOD. Earlier used to take Bigomet 1000 but has been stopped basis doctors advise post birth of our 1st child

Current medication Thyrox 50, Folg1 5 mg

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for your query.

I have read you query and I understand your concerns about .

Following is my reply:

1) If she has undergone OHSS, it is better to take only 50 mg of fertomid instead of 100 mg.

2) It is better to undergo follicular growth scan to identify if follicles are growing or not. This is best way to prevent OHSS>

3) If there is PCOD and irregular cycles, it is better to take Bigomet. Better to decide with doctor after ultrasound scan.

I hope I answered you query and addressed your concerns.

Let me know if you wish to ask any further questions. I will be glad to help you.
