I agree with Immi! I would start with one attempt at +OPK for a girl - frequent BD sways blue.
From what I understand, days to take it just depends on why you need it. My doc prescribed days 5-9, but I wasn't ovulating at all. I think a lot of people have success starting sooner though (days 2 or 3). Good luck!! :)
I took it 3-7 n one attempt on pos opk

I took clomid on 3-7 50 mg. i did every 4 day bd but did once on pos opk. I didnt do much else with it. Atomic doesn't recommend strict sway tactics with clomid. Ovulation ws a bit painful for me. Other than tht all gud

Days 2-6 is ok. Most take it 3-7 and personally that is what I feel has gotten the best results for us, but it's up to you.
ok thanks for that atomic, what about the time of day you take the tablet? as far as any side effect symptoms, which is best - morning or at night?
Hi Missiz :)
I take the pills at night as I wanted to lessen some of the side effects (or at the very least, as much as I could!). Some ladies don't have any side effects and have no problem taking in the morning. I think the main thing that's important, is that the pills are taken at the same time and that you don't switch from night to morning midcycle.
Hope that helps and best of luck to you!
I second taking at night!!!
Also they say the earlier in the cycle you take the more likely you are to release more than one egg but the further along such as 5-9 you produce one better quality egg.

night
I haven't seen any strong correlation between the days it's taken and twins. I've seen twins on 5-9 and singles on 3-7 and because I think 3-7 works better that is what I recommend. If you want to do EVERYTHIGN to prevent twins I guess it's worth the chance of taking it 5-9, I just feel it's been inferior odds of conception for us.
ok thanks for the information. Also as clomid tends to have a drying up effect on CM, is there anything girl friendly that you can use if you need a little help? or do you just recommend nothing if you can get by?
I've read that a bit of preseed is ok! [emoji4]

Or use sylk. It is girl friendly

is preseed girl friendly? which would be better out of sylk or preseed?
Thanks for the suggestions ladies :)
Sylk

I *think* sylk is acidic and reduces fertility so some prefer to use a little preseed instead despite it swaying blue but double check that with atomic x

:agree: a small amount of Preseed appears to be neutral and you only need a little ususally for comfy BD. Even saliva kills sperm so if you need some help, a small amount of Preseed will not kill the swimmers.
Some people do like to start off on Clomid using pink friendly jellies and lubes and that is fine. Over time you do need to drop these and if you still need a lubricant any sperm safe jelly is ok just use the bare minimum you need.
Atomic.. With clomid do you still recommend one attempt with pink swaying?

AT first, yes I do. Most people are given Clomid for 6 months so we have some leeway to play with sway tactics the first month or three.
Just to be awkward.. I have technically already tried with clomid (with multiple attempts) twice in the 7 months ive been off of birth control but the last 2 months ive gone without it. Do I still go with the one attempt? Or e3d? Time is ticking on now! I had 4 months worth here so I have two months worth left.

as far as lubricants go, I havent been able to find preseed in any chemists near me so far, but I did find one called Forelife Fertility Care - which says its a sperm-safe lubricant. would that be ok to use or would it be best to go out and find the preseed?
I would say find sylk if u could. But i guess any sperm friendly lubricant will do as well

Any lubricant marketed as sperm-safe, conception friendly is fine!! The Forelife is fine, it's just too time consuming for me to actually type every brand name out.
Conceive Plus, Yes Baby are a couple others that are not going to kill sperm
While sylk is considered to sway pink, it does kill sperm and hence if someone has been on Clomid more than a month or two they may need to drop Sylk in order to conceive. A small amount of any sperm-safe lube is probably neutral to a swayQuote:

Since you've been TTC this long and only 2 months Clomid left, I'd do every 4 days plus one additional attempt at pos OPK this month, next month every 3 days plus one additional attempt at pos OPK
I've been lurking for a long time. I'm starting 3-7 50 mg clomid tomorrow for swaying only. I will have a mid cycle ultrasound. I'm wondering about the bd timing also. We have gotten pregnant every time other than one month of trying. Two miscarriages. I was thinking have dh release elsewhere for 7 days straight and do one attempt at positive opk? I have been trying to do the diet and drinking crystal lite. I took vitex some the past two weeks, but stopped due to headaches.
Stay off the vitex from now on, it may make Clomid ineffective.
Doing the release ~may~ be better odds of pink but lower odds of conception. Having him release every 2-4 days instead ~may~ be more blue friendly. The important thing is that one attempt. Keep that for at least the first couple months with hte Clomid.
Ok thank you! We haven't bd almost two weeks before our one attempt. Will that be ok?
How old is he?? If over 35 abstain is not best http://genderdreaming.com/forum/tryi...over-35-a.html
As a general rule I try to avoid the very long abstains (anything beyond 14 days) even for guys under 35 and even moreso with Clomid in the mix, so if it's still several days out, you may need to have him "clean the pipes" and either keep going with abstain or do one of the other patterns we talked about.
He's only 26. I think he has super sperm.. I think this cycle I will try the release every day (7 days) and do the one attempt at positive opk. Thank you!
Ok today is cd 10 I got a flashing smiley in the morning. We bd late that night. Now cd 11 I had my mid cycle ultrasound and she said one follicle is 20mm and a few small ones on the other side. She said I should ovulate with in a day or two. Do you think that's an ok cut off?
I don't recommend cutoffs on Clomid - how many months do you have?? In future months I would wait for your SOLID smiley (first one) and attempt then. That is much better odds of conception than those flashy days.
Since you're on your first month out, if you really want to be in with best possible sway even if it gives a low chance of conception, you'd hang with this one attempt. If you're ok with a possibly higher chance of blue and higher chance of conception, then have another attempt.
If this is the only month of Clomid you have, I urge you to have another attempt tonight. I know it's hard to give up timing but it really doesn't work and you're cutting your chances of conceiving on Clomid (which DOES work) by trying to do timing too. It is somewhat more blue friendly to have 2 attempts in fertile window, BUT at the same time the Clomid helps too so it's somewhat contingent on a) if you have more Clomid to possibly use in the future and b) what YOU want to do (this is, of course, of paramount importance)!!
Timing debunked here. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...le-timing.html
I'm on day 4 of flashing smileys. I will do one more attempt at solid smiley. The clomid really dried my cm. I don't know how many months I will be on it, but my doctor said call her if I'm pregnant or not.
Yes absolutely if you've had 4 days since attempt be sure to attempt at solid.
This is your first month on Clomid, then??
Hi Atomic. I am starting my clomid on day 5 to 9 and I am having my first scan done 4 days after my last pill. Should I start using my clear blue digital opk on day 10 the day after my last clomid pill? And should I do one attempt when I get a solid smile? My dr has given me 6 months of clomid then reassess . I am taking 50mg
It's my first month on it. I started feeling wet so I used a test. Sure enough it's a solid smiley!
1. Dosage: 50mg
2. Days clomid is taken : 5 to 9
3. Pregnant/ Hopefully update soon!
4: How many clomid cycles: Not sure as yet
5: Reason for taking clomid. I have terribly long cycles with ovulation anywhere fro day 30 and up. Been ttc for a while now and nothing is happening. Hopefully the clomid will sway a little also for me :) Can only hope hey!?
Pinkin don't use OPK's for at least 3 days after your last pill as you get false positives from the residual meds! But you should ovulate between 5-10 days after your last pill!
