Specializes in Fertility Medicine

Cycle day 3-7: Classically Clomid (clomiphene) is given starting cycle day 3 or cycle day 5 for 5 days. There is no difference in pregnancy rates between these two start dates. Clomid (clomiphene) has also been started on cycle day 2 for special situations. Good luck.
