Dr. Seth Derman answered

Specializes in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility

Depends: It is ok to start Clomid (clomiphene) as late as day 5 if you have regular cycles and perhaps later if you do not ovulate regularly. The only problem with starting it too late is that you may miss the window when egg selection happens and recruit fewer eggs.
