Clomid typically causes ovulation between days 5 and 10 after your last pill. However, this is just an average; your personal ovulation window may vary. Accurate prediction requires monitoring. Track your basal body temperature (BBT) daily. A consistent rise in BBT signals ovulation. Furthermore, use ovulation predictor kits (OPKs) to detect the luteinizing hormone (LH) surge, which precedes ovulation by 24-36 hours. This provides a more precise timing window. Consider scheduling intercourse 2-3 days before your predicted ovulation based on both BBT and OPK results, increasing your chances of conception. Your doctor may also recommend an ultrasound to visually confirm follicle development and ovulation.
Timing Intercourse: A Practical Approach
Regular intercourse during the fertile window maximizes chances. Aim for intercourse every other day starting 2-3 days before the predicted LH surge. This approach ensures you capture the optimal time period for fertilization. Consistent monitoring and proactive scheduling are key to success. Discuss your specific cycle and results with your doctor to refine your strategy.
