Clomid Question...if anyone knows

As far as taking Clomid goes, I know that I am supposed to take it days 5-9, have sex on the third day after I take the last pill for about 1 week straight (ugh...haha).....Anyway, when you count the 5 days (to start taking it) do you include the day your last period started?  For example, I started my period today, do I start taking the Clomid on 12/13 or 12/14...or does it really matter???  Thanks.
