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)
Results 1 to 9 of 9

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.
DW: 30
DH: 32

5-9 gives you the lowest chances of twins - taking it earlier increases the chance of multiples.
My Ovulation Chart currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP
TTC #1
- swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!
Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after remověng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic
Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

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.

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. Originally Posted by purplepoet20
