MedHelp Member's Question

When to start Clomid

by rinrin, Aug 17, 2006 12:00AM

Tags: clomid, maternal, Baby, menstrual, PCOS, spotting, years

I am supposed to take clomid days 5 - 9, but what day do you count as the first day of your cycle.
I spotted lightly for a day or so, then really started.
So is day 1 when I started lightly spotting or when I had a heavier flow?

Any advice ---

I'm also on Clomid and have heard conflicting stories. I start my count from the first day I have anything. Call your doctor and ask him what he thinks. They are the best people to advise you.

Great luck and extra sticky baby dust!

You should count day 1 as the first day of actual menstrual flow. In other words the day after you were spotting when you had AF full force.

I agree with sparky, day 1 is the first actual flow day. Not spotting.

Okay I know this sounds stupid, but with my PCOS I went years without a period.

How do I distinguish between a light flow and spotting?
