When to start Clomid?

[Kris217]

My partner was given Clomid by her Dr but isn't going to be using it so I thought I'd take it this month. She was told to start it on day 5 of her cycle but I've been reading and it says from the start of your cycle so does that mean I've left it too late to start it?

Her cycle is a little longer than mine, is that why she was told to wait til day 5?
I have a 28 day cycle and i'm on day 4 now. I usually ovulate on day 14.

Any help will be great!

I think that if you take it after day 5, it may not work as well?
I thought it was better to start on day 2 or 3?
I know you will prob hate me saying this but i really would not take it without dr supervision!

Oh yeah, i'm doing my research as we speak. weighing up the pros and cons....don't worry i don't hate you

I'm glad you are taking it seriously, it really isn't a drug to just take without being monitored from what I have learnt! xx

I will call the dr on Monday who prescribed it to Sarah and tell her about Sarah's change on plans and if she thinks i should take it or not. I won't take it without asking first, don't want to mess anything up!

Have you read this yet?? http://genderdreaming.com/forum/show...hp?1191-Clomid

I personally don't want people taking drugs that were not prescribed to them BUT...people do it sometimes!

Thanks for the link Atomic, I did some research and did stumble across a few sites where women were talking about taking someone else's or buying it online. I'm CD6 so I think i'm too late to take it anyway but i still want to call my partners Dr.

It's important to ask the doctor first , because you should only really take Clomid when prescribed by a Doctor as it can be damaging when not needed. Good luck.
