How Many Cycles Of Clomid Lead To Pregnancy?

Hi Doctor, I am 39, ttc second baby. last cycle, i was on Clomid for 5 days, went for a follicular study from day 9. Was on Progynova from Day 11. Egg ruptured on day 15, normally. Had intercourse for 3 consecutive days till the day of rupture (day 12, 13, 14). This month's cycle started again. How many cycles of Clomid can one take? Do i need to get to the follciular study month after month? I actually skipped it this month.

Hi you can take clomid for 12 cycles. You can also take a break in between. Ultrasound is not necessary but it helps in increasing the chances of pregnancy by telling the exact time of ovulation. So you can try with clomid for 6 months naturally. If it doesn't work out then you can go for IUI. Hope I have answered your question.
