Another Clomid thread…

[Maricoco]

Hello all,

Hoping to get some guidance as my GP is absolutely useless. I’m on my second cycle of clomid (unmonitored) - last month I took 50g from day 5, but this month I’ve decided to go for days 2-6 as my understanding is days 2-6 will recruit more follicles which will increase eggs released, therefore increasing changes of catching an egg?!

I suffer from a short luteal phase and based on my last cycle, this wasn’t lengthened. I also ovulated really late on the day 5 cadence. I did have no spotting for a change so it definitely helped do something.

I suppose I have 2 questions

• has anyone played around with the days they’ve taken clomid and which schedule was successful?
• has anyone with luteal phase deficiency lengthened their PH using clomid?

thanks for reading!

My luteal phase lengthened considerably on clomid 50mg as went up to 16 days. It's more like 12-14 normally or less (8-9) if my cycles aren't very regular / regulating well (like after pregnancy or coming off the pill, etc). I ov'd at odd times on clomid though. Sometimes CD14, sometimes in the 20s or early 30s so could be quite hard to hit fertile window. I took it day 2-6 for 8 cycles.

@somethingluscious sorry to jump on an old thread, did you get your BFP in the end? Hope so xx
