I wonder if the reasons are the same as the reasons for taking/not taking soy early or late? If you look up the soy isoflavones thread I know that atomic gave advice for each schedule.

From everything I have read...Taking Clomid or Soy earlier gives a lot of follies but they may not all be of good quality. Taking it later produces less follies but they are better quality. I agree with Shell...Atomic has some good info on soy!

Usually 12 days. Sometimes 11 and once 13. Never 14. So I suppose those two days of 98.0 degrees could've been pre-o, maybe. Thinking it doesn't matter because 97.7 is my standard "getting my period today" temperature.

Well Craving I don't know much about temps but anything is possible. I mean you said your LP has never been 14 so there is a first time for everything. There is also a first time for a temp drop and still BFP! I do not want to hit the dislike button on you craving Don't make me send the angry red man your way like Mrs. P did for me. Mrs. P...I think we need an angry red man over here for Craving...stat!

Yes -- if I recall correctly, taking it earlier has the potential to produce more eggs, but they may not be good, mature eggs. Taking it later will give you maybe one or two good, strong, mature eggs. The 3-7 is right in the middle, so it's the best of both worlds.

For you soy girls, I took 180 on cd 3-7 for three cycles before getting a bfp. It messed with my cycle the first month, but actually caused me to O a couple of days early in the third.

Only 2dpo and already had a few cheats. Where did my willpower go??? Ugh!

To those taking Clomid or Clomid gurus, would you take your Clomid on cd1-5, 2-7? I have heard about using it days 3-7, or 5-9, but the others are new to me? Does anyone know the reasons for or not taking it early? Heard more women conceive if it's taken early?

I have been looking into taking mine early this month. Any thoughts?

Doc told me it had to be taken within the first five days, he recommended starting day 2 but since it was day 3 when i saw him i started it then x

Just remembered read on here starting day 2/3 yields more eggs but all may not be 'ripe' or developed or something, later days yield fewer eggs but better quality - no idea if it works although as its come from here i would imagine its true but not asked doc about it x

Now this is just not nice. Temp drop to pre-o, I'm 15dpo and have never made it past 13dpo unless pregnant, and no AF. Just waiting for the witch still.

Yep same over here 15dpo to - with bad period pains (cramping) and back ache - have you tested recently temp drop aside (as i hate temping and don't believe in as the one i tried it chart broke all rules and was awful but i got pg anyway with ds3) it sounds really positive x

I've been soooooo hungry since O! I've stuck to the diet really well but did have a pain au chocolat this morning. I made sure it didn't make me go over my calories or fat for the day but it's the first time I've had anything before lunch. Luckily it was delicious - fresh from the oven! Feel a little guilty but not very!

Well, maybe I'm not in my 2ww just yet. I thought for sure I'd O today or yesterday, but today the OPK had a line almost as dark as the control line. I don't know if it is on the upswing or just missed it and on its way down... My temps don't show that I Od yesterday. We dtd on Sunday and Monday, so 2 days ago. Do you think we should tonight or would that be too close to O? My PH shows maybe a 5, it's so hard to distinguish the shades sometimes. I don't want to miss the boat all together, but not sure what kind of mood DH will be in to dtd tonight (bad day today for him). What do you think? If I O tomorrow, that will be O-3, but if I just Od then it may be close to 0+12. Oy, this is sooo confusing.
