Hi.

I am posting this question here because I'm guessing you've been through the Clomid situation. I am going to start this next cycle which is due to start any moment I just know it. Anyway the Dr first wrote my Rx to start on 5th day. When I phoned with a question she had changed the chart to say start Clomid on 3rd day. Of course the nurse had not a clue. Just wondering if there is much difference or what is the thought for 3rd or 5th day to those that have used this drug?

I believe that taking Clomid on day 3-7 (which I did this cycle.....still waiting to O) further increases the chance of twins more so than 5-9. CD 5-9 increases the size of the follicles, and CD 3-7 creates more follicles instead of larger.

At least that's how I understood it. If I am wrong, someone please correct me!

anyone other comments - I'm trying to decide which to do

I would call back and ask your doctor again. Ask to speak directly to the doctor and see what he/she thinks.

I would ask your doc what he or she recommends. Each doc will suggest something different depending on you. Some people need stronger eggs, some need more.

So if you needed MORE eggs they would say do the earlier, and if you needed a stronger egg then the later.
