Days to Take Clomid ???

[purplepoet20]

The Dr said to take Clomid days 5-9 but I am wondering when other people took it and what they got.... I do not want twins.


How long is your CYCLE
DAYS it was taken (D3-?, D5-?, D7-?)
CONCEIVED (DS, DD, or twins)

I will be taking it days 3-7 (not starting until august as just started diet) I dont think it will make a difference

I have taken Clomid for ovulation induction with all four of my pregnancies. I have three girls and miscarried a girl also. I took it CD5-9 for two pregnancies, and CD4-8 for the other two.

5-9 gives you the lowest chances of twins - taking it earlier increases the chance of multiples.

I'm not convinced this works because I've seen plenty o singles on 3-7 range and some twins on 5-9. Take as per dr. suggests because the lenght of your natural cycle comes into it too. A person who regularly ovulates on CD 10 may need to start it sooner for best results, if that makes sense

Last time I swayed I noticed I O on cd13-15. My cycles are 28 days. My ovacue says O on cd13 but I normal O a few days after the predicted date so maybe 15 or 16. I did start clomid late on accident.

When you take it has no bearing on if you have twins. It's how you respond to it.

:agree: I think this has revealed itself to be one of those misinformations that doctors are reporting as fact when really it isn't true.

Just go ahead and take as per your doctor's suggestion because s/he may have a reason for wanting you to start it those days and it is no prevention against twinning.
