I feel so stupid asking this question but here goes. I start my clomid today cd 3 of my cycle. I take it thourgh day 9. I thought about bd'ing on day 10 and then every other day therafter. so day 10,12,14,16,18, and 20 do ya'll think this is a good idea and that hopefully all my basis are covered? As you can tell from my signature I am an old timer at all this fertility stuff and this is like my last ditch effort to get pg before age 40 so I cant waste any time. lol lol and it bd'ing better to do it at night or am? I am also going to start opk's I just ordered them off the internet yesterday and I have heard that doing those twice a day is better than once a day. Not really sure when I am suppose to start using those hope it comes with instructions. lol lol So any help in that area would be appreciated also. Thanks in advance for your help.
Love ya
Denise

Hi there, I'm not from this board, but am a successful clomid user 2x. I had the bd'ing planned just like you have it, and it should cover your ov time, but I definately wouldn't do it 2x in one day, how many mg are you taking? My dh and I where really bd alot trying to get pg, and he had to go in for a sperm analysis, and the night before his appt, we bd once in the morning and then again in the evening, so the next morning when we brought his SA in, his count was really REALLY low, so we told the doc about all the bd we've been doing, so he had us come back in 3 day's, and it was totally normal! So every other day is fine, even if you think your ov'ing, I think every day is fine...JMO...Good Luck to you, and congrats on the weight loss, you must feel like a million buks!

Hey girl,
Thanks for your response and I hope I am as lucky as you in getting pg. I am on 100mg this cycle. I had to take provera this cycle to get my period and I started kind heavy spotting tuesday. I still spotted yesterday and today stillnot heavey but heavy enought you know. anyway talked with dr and they said count tuesday as my first day. so i will start my meds tonight. Thanks again for you response.
Denise

Again Good Luck!!

Every other day is best anyways so the sperm can regenerate. Too often and like she said it lowers the sperm count.
