What is the difference

NovBride2002

between taking Clomid on different days of your cycle?  If you take it earlier like on days 3-7 would you ovulate earlier than if you were to take it on days 5-9?  And the higher the dose is it stronger the O?  How does it all work?

Dr.Loretta

There is no difference in timing. I asked my RE, and she said it's dr preference. She went from a practice where they prescribed CD5-9 and switched to one that did it CD3-7. No differences.

They usually increase dosage if you don't respond to the lower one.

my dr. said the increase in dose is given either if you dont respond or if you ovulate too late in the cycle.  so a higher dose might make you ovulate earlier.
