Pregnancy Info HOME

Hi Aleksandra I 've been doing some research for couple of months now and here's some info I came up with, The timing of Clomid, when do you start taking it. The traditional timing is to start on cycle day 5 for five days (CD 5-9.) Ovulation then happens as early as five days and as late as nine days after the last pill. So if you take it last on CD 9, then ovulation can happen on CD 14-19. Some doctors start Clomid on CD 2. So you would take in CD 2-6. In that case ovulation happens CD 11-CD 15. There is no absolute which day to start is better, and different women react differently. But most doctors still suggest taking it CD 5-9. Clomid are taken on days 5-9 of your cycle or, less typically, on days 4-8 or 3-7. There is some preliminary research that indicates that an earlier start date may result in more pregnancies, but most gynecologists continue to prescribe it for days 5-9. One recent study actually tried prescribing Clomid on cycle days 1-5. While none of the participants in their day 5-9 group resulted in pregnancy, 24 percent of the women who took Clomid on days 1-5 were able to conceive and if your taking it on your own, and trying for twins it's better to take it days 2-6 & 3-7, because your body makes more eggs when you take it earlier. There is a school of thought that states that these eggs are also more likely to be immature but the fact that so many have had success with the earlier days may bear more weight than the risk of immature eggs. Hope this helps.
