Clomid, days 3-7 or 5-9???

[Eph84]

Does anybody know the differencance starting Clomid on days 3-7 or 5-9???
Is one better than the other???

Clomid days 3-7 vs. 5-9 can change through your doctor depending on if they think you are ovulating sooner or later. My progeterone levels had detected that I ovulated later than the normal average, so they changed it. When they predict you are suppose to ovulate is when you are supposed to be having intercourse every other day for those who are just on Clomid and not for IUI or IVF. That way you are scheduling around same time you should be ovulating. I hope that makes sense.

Hi honey thats good you have a follicle and a good size too.you had a headache on the first day from the clomid,i did too and i never have sore heads.13mm is good and it has to get to 26mm?I got told today i have 3 follies 10,11 and 13mm but they have to be between 18-22?But i just learnt that sometimes follicles ovulate/rupture and dont have eggs?Not sure how much truth is in that though hun.I would have thought that as i am considerably older than you that my follies would need to be much bigger also?Think im still learning about all this fertility stuff but each day i seem to know more so thats good.Anyway wishing your follies get much bigger and SSBD xxx

Well,i  am just a tad... ok alot of excited at the moment. I had my scan today, so after the 5 days of Clomid. I have a follicle!! yay!!! it's still has some more maturing to do (it's 13mm) so i have to go back in 4 days and have another scan to see how much more it has grown, they grow up to 2mms a day so they want mine to be betwwen 16-26mms (because of my age) so i can relax now, knowing that the Clomid has worked to develop the follicle, now all i have to wait for is ovulation!!!! ( and if i don't do it naturally, they will give me an injection to make me)

Took the full round of Clomid and not one side effect.  I was expecting something but felt the exact same also felt no different taking Prometrium 200mg for 10 days.  Tomorrow I start the estradiol 3mgs 2 times a day for 5 days,
