Trouble TTC

Clomid, what time is the best time to take it?

What time, during the day or evening is the best time to take Clomid? I was just told to take it days 9-13.

Re: Clomid, what time is the best time to take it?

  • I was told whenever was fine but I always took mine at night. I have a history of meds making me sick and it helped taking it with dinner. I woke up a few times with nausea but it was better than going through the day with it. Its all a personal preference hopefully you find what works for you!!

  • I took it at night because of what I have read here and because that is what my RE wanted me to do.  I still had hot flashes and headaches, but I think my HCG booster gave me more of a problem than the clomid did.

  • +1 for night time...

    My RE actually never told me when to take it but I read online that some people were successful missing the side affects while sleeping through them. I don't think I had any side affects except for one night of semi bad night sweats...which I was very thankful for!! I was on 50 mg for CD 3-7.
  • I have been on it for the last 3 cycles (50mg) and I always popped it either before work at like noon or about halfway through work. I would have the nausea but I would rather have it during the day when I was keeping busy I thought less of it. I had hot flashes all times of the day, and bad night sweats/nightmares so it didnt seem to matter when I took them. I was just horrible for the week I took it. EVERY SINGLE CYCLE lol.
