I know this question has come up before, but I could really use some advice, or thoughts...
I am on CD2, and am trying to decide if I should go ahead and start my clomid on day 5 like last month, or try day 3.
On my last dr visit, I asked him about the difference, I thought he mentioned that 3-7 may make me ovulate sooner, but that 5-9 has been the standard for a long time. He didn't seem to be insistent that I stick with the 5-9 though.
I think I ovulated last time, but not until maybe around CD17 maybe?
So do any of you have any thoughts here? Pros or cons of starting on day 3 instead of 5?
One other thing, this month I will be taking the 100mg, last month was only 50mg.
I started my second round today 5-9 I have regular cycles (28-30 days average) and my first round did not seem to change that (31 days) I may have o'd around the time I was supposed to. I say might have because my progesterone numbers were lower than my doctor would like but they did double from the month before. I am on 100mg this month.

Days 5-9 was no good for me. My cycles were long, I didn't always O, and when I did, it was a poor quality egg because it was so late in my cycle. CD 3-7 has worked well for me in developing ripe eggs and I trigger to release them. I have a standard 28-day cycle because of it. But you could always just do CD 4-8, therefore taking the middle of the road on it.

Thanks to those that responded! I went ahead and started on day three. No side effects so far! To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
I always heard that the sooner you take Clomid the sooner you will O and you could possibly have more follies possibly ovulating more than 1 egg by taking it early too.
CD5-9 is suppose to be more mature follies.
I just saw a new doc that mentioned cd 3 or 4 and then said it doesnt matter. Maybe he told me that since Im going to trigger not sure.

My doc always says cd3. I did it on day 5, and she wasn't happy with me. What can you do?

My doc is having me take it 5-9. I've read many places you make less follies, but better quality this way. **shrug**

I did 2 cycles of CD 2-6 and O'd but no BFP.
I changed it to CD 5-9 on my 3rd cycle and actually O'd a day or so sooner then the first 2 cycles and got my BFP!
It can only help to try it on different days. See what your magic number is.
