You only need to take Clomid (clomiphene)
5 days in a row. The exact time is not so
important. You also need to have intensive
sexual intercourse around the time of
ovulation. Ovulation usually occurs 5-10
days after you start taking Clomid. The
precise date of ovulation can be
determined by measuring the body
temperature every morning or by using
ovulation predictor strips every day. Body
temperature slightly rises several hours
after ovulation and ovulation predictor
test-strips predict the ovulation several
hours before it happens.
If ovulation doesn’t occur after 3
courses of therapy or ovulation happens
but without conceiving further treatment
with Clomid is not recommended and
re-evaluation of the diagnosis is
required.
You may want to consult your gynecologist
about this.
