Another clomid question

Question

Is it true a woman ovulates 5-10 days after her last pill? Also, can a woman take it cycle day 1-5? I have heard more and more of this? Thanks!

Answer 1

Thats what they say but I think it varies from person to person.  I know one person on clomid who didn't O until day 26 of her cycle.  

I would take it when your doc says but I think days 2-6 and 5-9 are most common.

Answer 2

Every woman is different.  Most commonly, woman are prescribed to take it days 3-7 or days 5-9.  The cycle days 1-5 may be so for certain ppl depending on their cycle and what not.  As far as your ovulation date, I've read a lot that clomid delays your ovulation by a few days, like 4 or so.  I'm not sure if that is accurate but when I took it, I ovulated around day 22.  And I'm not sure what I did without it since I'm very irregular.  Hope this helped.

Answer 3

It's usually CD 3-7 or 5-9, but depending on many factors, a doctor might recommend taking it on days 1-5. Every woman is different in terms of when ovulation will occur. I always took Clomid on CD 5-9, and I usually ovulated around CD 20 or 21. If you're not being monitored, I would recommend charting your temps or using OPK's to try to figure out when you are ovulating.

Good luck
