Weird Clomid Regimen?

Hi all,

I'm starting Clomid in a few days, and my RE wants me to do 100 mg on days 5-9. I am struggling with longer cycles, though I always ovulate on my own. I'm also fairly small (around 125lbs)so I'm concerned about how a higher dose will affect me.

Isn't more normal to start a patient on 50mg, on days 3-7? (I'm 26years old, by the way)

Em,


Some doctors skip straight to 100mg because so many women don't respond well to the 50mg dosage.
