Clomid for swaying: more odds of multiples?

Sounds great!! Hoping for one (or two! ;)) pink sticky beans.

Well, please understand that a) that is not what studies have found nor is that my experience on this site or on IG and b) that is without swaying. Swaying changes things and as we all have seen, even just diet can dry up CM a LOT and I really prefer people not have 3 day cutoffs.

1 and 2 days before O are best odds of conception.

That's what I was going to ask, bc with swaying pink we really do reduce fertility a fair degree I think. I agree with atomics timing suggestion. 1-2 days is a safe bet; anything anything intentionally sooner can lead to disappointment unless you have many many cycles of trying ahead of you with no time restraints.

Just be aware still that if you have 2 eggs ready to go,,there is a chance of twins so if u don't want twins I wouldn't have bd. you could ask your doc to change your clomid from days 5-9 you will most likely have less eggs so usually only 1, but it's better quality. So of you don't get pg this month that may be an option too

Well, the fact is that we are seeing people BD with 2-4 follicles (under advice of a doctor) and not getting pregnant with one baby, let alone more. 2 follicles is not a guarantee of twins. I think this is a decision that people should make with their doctor's input because if someone has been TTC for a long time they should probably not skip months for 2 follicles.

We have not seen as good pg rates with CD 5-9 and I feel like we have had twins and singles being conceived on all the days so I am not finding the CD 5-9 idea to be working out.

Maybe that's just coincidence? (The 5-9 clomid not working out?) as I do know it's the preference for all the docs (unless a specific circumstance) at my fertility clinic. I'm not an expert, but just what she told me when I asked

Well, I suppose it could be but at some point I feel after dealing with dozens, if not hundreds of ladies around the entire planet on Clomid that one does start to get a feel for it.

Some fertiliy clinics say 3-7, or 5-9, others even say 2-6. All I can do is share my personal experience which is htat I started out recommending 5-9 because it was supposedly "better for odds of twins" but I saw twins conceived that day, singles conceived days 2-6 and 3-7, did not seem to be any rhyme or reason to it, and better odds of conception on 3-7, I'm sticking with 3-7 for now. Ask me agian in a year or two. Maybe I'l have a different opinion then..
