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.

Accepted Answer

In 1 week: It may be too early to tell on a home pregnancy test. The test should be repeated in 1 week's time

Question 6

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 7

what is clomid (clomiphene) used for?

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

what is the substitute for clomid (clomiphene)?

Accepted Answer

Femara/Letrozole: If Clomid (clomiphene) is not effective, Femara is sometimes prescribed in much the same way as clomid (clomiphene).  For some women it is more effective.  

Be aware; however, that using Femara for ovulation induction is considered "off label, " meaning it is not approved by the fda for this use.  This is not a problem if your doctor is familiar with it and comfortable prescribing it.

Question 9

how is clomid (clomiphene) generally administered?

Accepted Answer

Orally: Clomid (clomiphene) comes in 50 mg tablets. Dosage is usually one tablet by mouth for five days. Usually it starts on day three through day seven. Ovulation normally occurs approximately seven days after the last pill. Dosage can be increased to 100 mg and even 150 mg per day for the five days. Occasionally, it can be given for a total of seven days. Often at the higher dosages and longer days of usage the ovulation is still suboptimal.

Question 10

what are your experiences in clomid (clomiphene) and menopur?

Accepted Answer

Cna work: It depends on exactly waht your situation is. Clomid (clomiphene) often works well, but it must be adminisytered and followed correctly , you may need fertility injections if it does not work.
