Clomid sex schedule

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 

I moved recently to a new apartment, and can't for the life of me can't find my calender book or clomid/provera information sheet. I'm looking online for what days I'm supposed to have sex, and keep coming up with different days. They all say every other day, but one says day 9-18, another says 10-20, some say like 11-18...what am I supposed to do and why does no one online agree??? I really don't want to waste a whole round of Clomid because I can't figure this out.

 

And yes, I know it's stupid of me to lose this stuff, trust me, I feel like an idiot. I've been panicking for like three days about it. And I'm not charting because no one can seem to tell me how if I haven't had a period without provera in a year, and NOTHING about my schedule is regular. I should probably be taking my temperature, I'm just really new to all this and don't get how that all works yet.

I know this is a couple of days old, so I hope you've already found the answer to your question...

 

I'm on Clomid, and I didn't get anything telling me which days to BD.  I was told that I should O five to ten days after the last Clomid pill (i.e. I took Clomid days 3-7, so I should O between CD 12-17).  So based on that, I try to start BDing around CD10ish, and do every-other-day from there until I O.  Last cycle I O'ed eight days after the end of Clomid, and seems like I'll be about the same this cycle. 

 

Do you use OPKs?  They can help you figure out good BDing times too.  You can only start using them three days after the Clomid, though, because any earlier and the Clomid can effect the results. 

 

Good luck!

I asked my husband if we could just try and go days 9 (last day of Clomid) through 17 (which I think he's actually looking forward to, makes him feel like he can actually help with all the stupid crap I've been having to go through with this), and I have the ovulation tests, and I'm taking my temperature because trying that is better than throwing up my hands because I'm not fully sure how it works. Here's hoping this will work, crossing my fingers that I'll O on this dose!

Between the OPKs and BBTs, you should be able to find O.  For me, I usually get my first positive OPK six days after I finish Clomid (so CD13), and then I'll O either CD 14 or 15.  But if DH is willing to do CD9-17, you'll definitely cover all your bases!!  Good luck!
