Brief Answer:
Increasing the dose of Clomid to 100 mg can help induce ovulation

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
I am Dr Ramadevi Wani. I will be answering your concerns today.

Serum Progesterone of 10.9 mmol/ L is low. It suggests that ovulation has not occurred. It is not sufficient to get pregnant.
Yes increasing Clomid from 50 mg to 100 mg can improve follicular growth and induce ovulation.
I suggest that if your BMI is more than 25 you must reduce weight. Reducing weight even by 5-10% helps in inducing ovulation.
I also suggest that you get ultrasound done to track follicular growth. This helps in finding the appropriate dose of clomid.

I hope this helps.
If you have further concerns, do write to me. I will be happy to answer.
Best wishes,
Dr Rama.

Hi,
Welcome back.
I am sorry for the delay in replying due to difference in time zone.
Great news that you have reduced weight. it would be wonderful if you can reduce further.

Yes Gonadotrophins also help in bringing about ovulation. Tracking of egg growth by ultrasound is a must when you are taking Gonadotrophins.
I hope this helps.
