When did you take clomid?

I start clomid Tuesday. I've read a million pages on it and am as prepared as I'm ever going to be. I'm just curious what time of day everyone took clomid if you were on it.

I have read that taking it at night can help you sleep through the side effects. I've also had others say that early morning is best.

So when did you take it?

TIA!

Hi- this was my first round of Clomid as well. I took it cycle days 5-9 and each day I took it around noon. My side effects weren't terrible but I did have some hot flashes (those subsided after I finished the pills but did have some while sleeping) decline of vaginal fluid (kept the Pre-seed handy) and I had loss of appetite. I can't say for certain if taking the pill at a different time of day would have mattered based off the symptoms I had. Good luck!!

I took it around 8pm for all 5 rounds. My RE said it could potentially make me tired so I figured I'd just take it at night.

My RE nurse said to take it at night.  I typically did CD 3-7, and always right before bed.  I found the pills had a bitter taste, so I got fancy chocolate bars during my Clomid cycles to have a square after taking my pills each night to get out the taste.

I had kind of weird side effects--each Clomid cycle, I had an ache in the same shoulder, which my acupuncturist said might be due to changing hormone levels affecting pain sensitivity.  My last cycle I felt like I had increased anxiety.  

GL!

I've taken most cycles in the morning with my breakfast as that's when I take the folic acid, so figured I'd remember! Lol but this cycle I took them before bed each night. Can't say I've noticed any difference in side effects or taking them at a different time of day. I just thought: hey, why not!
Hot flashes and dryness have been my biggest side effects- both of which aren't too bad really if the end product is a bfg!
