Hi there :)
So your a 1st rounder aswell, so I'm assuming you would be feeling very aprehensive about it all? That is alot earlier than I have seen. What dose will you be taking? How come your taking clomid if you ovulate on your own? There are so many questions that I have about all this but I guess everybody is different and have there own problems/ reasons for being on different days and dosages....

Hi honey i have been prescribed clomid to start on my next cycle on days 2-6,i ovulate on my own so maybe thats the reason im not sure.But from what i can see here in the uk its prescribed on earlier days.SSBD xx

I have pcos and I'm trying to get pregnant with my first child. My OBGYN has me taking clomid on 5-9 as well. I don't think it should matter when you take it as long as it makes you ovulate.  Keep me informed and I'll so the same. Hopefully it'll work for both of us!

I have PCOS, i don't have periods so i don't ovulate, so i have been put on Provera to bring on a period so that i can ovulate, my fertility specialist has told me to take Clomid on days 5 thu to 9, but i have been reading alot and minimal amount of women have been taking 5-9 they seem to be taking days 3 thu to 7, and having success, i'm so worried that it's not going to work. I have a 5 year old,that was concieved naturally with no problems at all, so they are saying that i can ovulate, but that was 5 years ago, would it still be the same? :(

Clomid days depend on reasons you are taking clomid.  If you do not ovulate then 5-9 is often prescribed.  If you are taking clomid to improve your chances, 3-7 is often given.  May also depend on your ob's preferences.
Good luck!
