Default General Question about Clomid

This may have already been asked, but what is the difference or reason for taking clomid on days 5-9 instead of 3-7. My Dr. has me on 5-9 100 mg. Why are there two different wys to take it? If someone knows, let me know. Really just curious and because I am about to start my third cycle. Thanks!!!

Default Re: General Question about Clomid

from what i understand, taking it 3-7 gives you MORE follies, and 5-9 gives you BETTER follies. i took it 4-8 my first 3 cycles and 3-7 on my fourth. my body had a better response taking it 3-7. hope that helps!
