Do you take it the evening of the day your supposed to or the night before?? I like to take my clomid at night to limit the side effects that I feel, but I normally get AF at night too so I count it on the next day as day one, and then take the clomid the night of day 2 (I'm supposed to take it days 3-7) Does that make sense? So I basically take it right when day 3 starts. Well this cycle, AF came right in the middle of the day. Should I take it evening of day 2 or evening of 3??
When I was on clomid I took it in the evening too because I got such bad side effects. They told me to start on the evening of day three, but I have heard so many different stories there too.

We had 2 years of IF trying to conceive #2 and one loss during that time. We are currently trying for #3! had another loss the end of June
I always counted day 1 as the day that AF arrived, even if it arrived at night (if I saw it before I went to bed...if I didnt see anything until the AM then I counted the AM as day 1). So if I was taking it days 3-7, and AF arrived on say Saturday anytime before I went to bed, then I would take my first Clomid dose on Monday at night (I always took it at night too, RE told me to take it that way).
The night of day 3. As my RE explained it...your day can run from 3:00 pm -3:00 pm...it doesn't have to be a 12:00-12:00 kind of day. (e.g. if AF starts at full flow at 3:00 p.m.....that's technically day one until the next day at 3:00). Wayyy more info than you asked for, right?
Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.

Actually this was my exact thinking. I just got a bit confused when it started at a different time. Totally makes sense now the way you've explained it. So I will start on the night of day 3 since day 3 really goes into day 4...now I get it, thanks to all replies!?
They answered your question for you, but I was wondering how you were.

I'm actually fine now. Honestly I just turn into a complete nut during the 2 ww, then once it's over and know, I'm fine. It's the not knowing that drives me nuts. If it works this time, they will be exactly 2 years apart. That is still good timing. ?
I can't take it at night anyways, b/c it gives me insomnia, but I really don't think it matters when you start it, honestly- like pp said, dr's tell people to take it on a variety of days.

Wow, that could get confusing!
