Stair-Step Protocol for PCOS Patients Who Do Not Respond to Clomid – Fertility Plus
Fertility Plus shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Tried Clomid, and it didn’t work?
There’s a smarter way many fertility doctors use for PCOS patients called the Stair-Step Protocol.
Here’s the simple version:
Start with 50 mg Clomid (Days 2–6) → Day 12 scan shows no follicle. → Immediately step up to 100 mg for 5 days in the same cycle.
Many women who had zero response at 50 mg suddenly grow a healthy 14 mm follicle after the higher dose – without wasting a whole month waiting for the next cycle.
This is the power of the stair-step method.
Have you tried Clomid before? Did it work or did you need to step up? Drop your experience below.
