About Clomid & Ovulation

How Clomid Works

Clomid (Clomiphene Citrate) stimulates ovulation by blocking estrogen receptors, causing your body to produce more follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH).

Typical Response

Most women ovulate 5-10 days after the last Clomid pill. Ovulation typically occurs around cycle days 14-21.

Success Rates

Approximately 80% of women ovulate on Clomid, with 40-45% achieving pregnancy within 6 cycles.

Important Considerations

Always follow your doctor's instructions. This calculator provides estimates only. Monitor ovulation using OPKs or ultrasounds for accuracy. Report any side effects to your healthcare provider immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I start testing for ovulation on Clomid?

Start ovulation predictor kit (OPK) testing 3 days after your last Clomid pill. Test daily at the same time, preferably in the afternoon. Positive OPK typically indicates ovulation will occur in 24-36 hours.

How accurate is this Clomid ovulation calculator?

This calculator provides estimates based on statistical averages. Individual responses to Clomid can vary. Always confirm ovulation with OPKs, basal body temperature tracking, or ultrasound monitoring.

What are common side effects of Clomid?

Common side effects include hot flashes, mood swings, breast tenderness, nausea, headaches, and visual disturbances. Multiple births occur in about 10% of pregnancies. Contact your doctor if you experience severe symptoms.

When is the best time for intercourse during Clomid cycles?

Have intercourse every other day starting 3 days before predicted ovulation until 2 days after. Sperm can survive 3-5 days, so timing intercourse before ovulation increases chances.

How many Clomid cycles are typically recommended?

Most doctors recommend 3-6 cycles of Clomid. If pregnancy doesn't occur after 6 ovulatory cycles, further evaluation or different treatment may be recommended.
