2. Beginning on cycle day 5 and continuing through cycle day 9, take 100 mg (two 50 mg tablets) of clomiphene citrate (Clomid) once a day every day at the same time.

    

3. On cycle day 10 or 11, return to the office to have labs drawn again (FSH). Additional tests, E2 or LH, may also be ordered by your physician. An appointment must be made for lab work.

Expected Values

Women with elevated FSH levels may demonstrate diminished ovarian reserve. If these tests are abnormal, you will be asked to schedule a brief consult visit to discuss additional diagnostic studies or treatment options.
