what is the best time to take clomid

[chance4602]

Does any one know if there is a preferred time of day to take clomid? I heard that it is better to take it in the afternoon but am not sure if i believe it so I thought i would run it by ya'll. I am starting a new round today (days 5-9) and will take it at bedtime unless someone has another suggestion. I hope everyone is having a GREAT day!+++++++++++thoughts to all!!

there's great free charting software at http://www.fertilityfriend.com/ . I have always loved Toni Wechsler's "Taking Charge of Your Fertility". Sorry, I wish I could explain how to find your coverline, but I have always let the computer tell me what it is.

It's been years since I took clomid, but I took it at bedtime days 3-7. I think 5-9 is a little on the late side, so maybe take it in the morning.

chance....clomid is generally taken on either cd's 3-7, or 5-9. i would just follow your doctors directives.

your CL is drawn at 1/10 of a degree higher than the highest of the 6 temps preceding O.

here's a little blurb that i copies from our sticky thread on the top of the main page.


When you have O'd, your temp should rise at least 2 tenths of a degree higher than your previous 6 temps.

Example:

cd 9 97.3
cd 10 97.4
cd 11 97.2
cd 12 97.0
cd 13 97.4
cd 14 97.1
cd 15 97.9

If those are your temps, you will have ovulated on cd 14, since your temp on cd 15 is higher than any of your temps for the previous 6 days. You then draw your "coverline" through the temp that is 1 tenth of a degree higher than your highest temp in those preceding 6 days. Here your highest temp pre-O is your 97.4 on cd 13 (and cd 10) and so your coverline is 97.5.

Hi Chance: My understanding is that it doesn't matter what time of day you take Clomid as long as you take it the same time each day.

Good luck and keep us posted++++++++++
