A member asked:

When can i start using fertility pill before having sex to conceive?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Day 3-7 or 5-9: If you are using clomid (clomiphene) or equivalent, the customary prescription is day 5-9 or in some cases day 3-7 as it tends to delay ovulation past day 14, to around day 16 or so. But you should discuss this with your provider. Good luck.

A member asked:

OBGYNs or fertility specialists: does only having sex O-2 give you the same odds of conceiving as having sex, say, O-3, O-2, O-1? Trying to figure out if I can consider us to have tried the last few months when we only hit one of the fertile days?
