so i was put on clomid by my gyn in october, she did a ultrasound while on my period to check 4 follicles, which they did exist i just didn't have a mature one. she prescribed clomid for 3 months and prometrium to induce periods. she told me to take 50mg on days 5-9. i did as she said in october but i didn't have any signs of ovulation(oh which reminds me, she's NOT monitoring me, yes i know, i'm worried about that) anyway, i started my cycle thursday but decided to switch my days to 3-7 to see if it will work, what's the difference does anybody know? what is more likely to bring on ovulation?

In theory, days 3-7 of Clomid lead to more follicles and fewer side effects on the lining and the mucus. Days 5-9 lead to better development of just a few follicles. It seems to make a difference for some women and does not make any difference in others. Little conclusive research on the issue exists.
If you are sure you did not ovulate - i would try current dosage of clomid again (with either protocol) However, if you do not ovulate again, I would discuss increasing your dosage with you doctor.
Good luck!

How long is ur period cycle? Ovulation usually occurs 14days prior to period. e.g: my period is on 7th, however i have 35 days cycle.. therefore ovulation occur ard 23rd-25th. Try take clomid fm day 2-6 and monitor ur temp or vaginal mucus. Try the ovulation kit and u will koe..
