Ellipses Is Clomid really better days 2-6???

I had done some research on Clomid. It said taking it days 2-6 instead of 5-9 had a higher pregnanc rate. Does anyone know if this is true? It said most Doc's are old fashioned and stick to what they learned the first time around and no doc wants to try something new. Anyone try that and had a success?

I am taking clomid days 3-7, and I asked my dr. what was the difference, and he said, that it depends on the dr. preference. Good luck . I am on my 4th cycle, 3 50mg and 1 100mg.

I got pregnant my third cycle on Clomid 50 mg taking it days 5-9.

my understanding is that taking it days 3-7 can results in more mature follicles, but days 5-9 results in fewer but better quality eggs.

but probably there is no significant difference. i would suggest doing what your doctor recommended.

We did it days 3-8 or 2-7, always. Hmmmm.....

I think we did it days 5-9 and found a timing question. Can't remember at this point, but I do know that earlier worked better for me. I O on CD14 off of clomid and about CD19 on it.

Good Luck!!!

I took it on Cd 3-7. I think it depends on your doctor and what they want your body to do. IE the earlier you take it, the earlier you O or the more Eggies you get. (HOwever I don't know what is what. lol)

I am on my first cycle of clomid days 2-6 had test done past 3 months that showed I did ovulate--guess days2-6 is docs preference. I am now CD17 and have still not ovulated(that I know of). Hopefully it will happen tomorrow. Keep us posted!
