No 5-10 days on average, some take longer. It's very very rare to O before the 5th day after stopping the Clomid.
I probably would have had you take the Clomid later in the month in that case but let's just hope it works out for us.
I have not found that the time of day you have sex matters, but if that works out and you feel good about it that's fine!

So I'm feeling optimistic...
We did one attempt ( missionary pos, no orgasm )...hubby had to leave next morning for 4 days so had one shot. Got very dark pos OPK next morning so that made me feel great!
Just got to play the waiting game now.
Thanks atomic for all your advice. Will keep you posted

So AF arrived , 2 days earlier than expected too, although my cycles are a little unpredictable....I had been quite optimistic and had lots of phantom pregnancy signs in the lead up but unfortunately not my month.
I felt quite emotional and deflated but after 2 days I've picked myself up and ready for round 2 and starting 5 days clomid again. I kept exercising a lot in the 2ww to help with anxiety and tried to stick to diet. Weight remained same anyway so I've not sabotaged my of my sway methods. Hubby did a lot of FR in lead up from AF to attempt ( every day )/so wondering if that needs to calm down a bit?
Other than adjusting that if needed, i will sick o the exercise and clomid as my main strategies ....I've a busy month ahead as were moving house so hopefully it will fly and I'll get my BFP as am early Christmas gift.
Keep you posted!

Yes let's drop the FR and go to having him release every 2-4 days instead.

So....I'm kind of stressing out...month 2 on climid was not comfortable.... Pains, bloating, hot flushes.... Hubby drooped the FR so we could do 1 attempt in window....BUT...attempt last night mightchave gone wrong ( TMI warning....) Did missionary position, no orgasm....but I think I was over zealos with the shallow penetration at the end and ended up with most of the stuff on the sheets and a bit inside me. I layed still with knees up til I slept but I'm wondering if not enough got inside me. Now hubby wants to do another attempt but I'm worried that is TTC boy strategy.... I'm gutted if I've ruined another month but hopeful that might still he successful??? Advice and options welcome!!

Do not do shallow penetration. I don't ever recommend shallow penetration for anyone because it has REALLY cut odds of conception (and there's a whole story I have proving that this is true, if you'd like to hear it) and NO ONE on Clomid should ever do shallow penetration.
I can't tell you what to do really - I'll give you my standard rule of thumb which is, "for best odds of pink stick with one attempt, for best odds of conception - but still good chance of pink, have another attempt." But we have a complication here in that you've been on Clomid 2 months now, this month you had a lot of side effects, and it sounds to me like that was really a non-attempt. I would have you attempt again ASAP but it is of course your call to make.

Thanks atomic. Hubby is now away for work but returns in 2 days. If by chance I get a pos opk then ( will be cd17-18 so maybe too late....) then we might do another more enthusiastic attempt!
