Clomid, Ovulation and Sex

OK, so I just finish my first dose of clomid. I took my last pill just last night. I guess I 'm just alittle confused about when I should ovulate. It seems like everyone says some thing different. I mean Should I just start having sex everyother day for the next two weeks. (fun but exhausting)I don't know when to start having sex. My doctor explained it all to me a little but I just keep hearing different things from everyone. What should I do and when does the baby making begin? Please let me know about you and your cycle. I need some advise.

If you aren't using ovulation tests, then I would start on cycle day 10 and have sex every other day for about a week. That should cover your ovulation period. I use the ovulation tests starting day 11 and I take them late afternoon. That way I know when I ovulate and I can time it right. Good luck!!

I would buy some ovulation sticks. Everyone is different so we cant pin point when. For me when i took Clomid last cycle i ovulated later then the normal cd 10-17 days.

i temp so i know when i Ovulate an bd the right days. Also look for egg white cm when you start seeing that start bding. GL this cycle!

i took clomid on days 3-5 and was told to test days 10-13 or so. your doctor should tell you exactly what days to test (mine did)but if not then you could start testing around day 10 and test until you ovulate. i was curious too and googled sites about ovulation and test etc and found out more info (i jsut can't remember which sites i found). i was scared that i was going to miss it so i had sex several times durign the 10-13 days (just to be safe), while testing and i think it worked.
best advise is to do what your doctor says but if you are really worried about missing it, then every other day sex would help ease your mind as well as OTC ovulation test strips.

First I have to say that you should listen to your doctor before any of us! He knows you adn your body and hopefully has better insight. That being said, here's my $0.22 ;).
OK, so (with the help of metroformin) I had a 28 day cycle so I "guessed" my ovulation to start on cd14. I had sex for three days in a row and then I skipped a day and did it one more time (so that was cd14, cd15, cd16 and cd18). I got pregnant on cd15.

One more thing. I was taking ovulation predictor kit test that whole time and never got a positive. PCOS can cause false negatives so I don't swear by those. I HAD to have ovulated because I'm 5 months pregnant now.

Hope this helps.
