Question 1

can i take clomid on day 6?

Accepted Answer

Clomid: If you are just starting clomid on day 6, it will not be as effective as if you have started it on day 3 or 5 as is generally recommended. However, it will not harm you to start it on day 6.

Question 2

what cycle is better to take clomid cycle 3-7 or 5-9?

Accepted Answer

Either/or: Both regimes seem to work, I have seen different practitioners use one of the above protocols. Certainly, if you have tried one of the above regimes for 3 months or so, may switch to the other regime to see if that perhaps would work (assuming you are on the right dosage).

Question 3

whats the difference between clomid and fertomid besides price?

Accepted Answer

Same ingredient: Online listings show Clomid, Fertomid, and Serophene to be brand names of clomiphene (or clomifene). That means they are the same medication, likely produced by different companies, but should have the same effects when used in the same manner.

Question 4

can i start clomid one day later than prescribed and it still be effective?

Accepted Answer

Why?: Why not follow the MD's instructions as prescribed. Obviously, it was prescribed for that date for a reason.  If there are still concerns, call the MD who provided the prescription.

Question 5

what is clomid (clomiphene)?

Accepted Answer

Fertility medicine: Clomid (clomiphene) is classified as a nonsteroidal anti-estrogen. When taken orally it binds to receptors in the brain which ultimately increases the fsh level. This in turn causes eggs to develop and hopefully initiate ovulation mid-cycle.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Clomid (clomiphene) safety in men: Clomid (clomiphene) use in men is safe. Prolonged daily dosing (for at least 3 months) is required for it to be effective.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Female INFERTILITY: It is used mainly in female infertility, in turn mainly as ovulation induction to reverse oligoovulation or anovulation such as in infertility in polycystic ovary syndrome, as well as being used for ovarian hyperstimulation, such as part of an in vitro fertilization procedure.

Question 8

how should i take clomid (clomiphene)?

Accepted Answer

Day 3-7: Clomid (clomiphene) is usually taken for five days starting on the third day of the menstrual cycle.  Starting dose is 50-100 mg daily.

Question 9

is clomid (clomiphene) a permanent fix?

Accepted Answer

No: Clomid (clomiphene) is only a permanent fix if it gives you all the children you ever want; medically, it is 'here today gone tomorrow.' in other words, there is no lasting effect positive or negative on your ovulatory function.

Question 10

how well does clomid (clomiphene) work?

Well: Statistically around 80% of women will ovulate on clomid, (clomiphene) but only 50-60% eventually get pregnant.
