I took it on CD 3-7 and I got pregnant on my 2nd cycle so I say that one is more effective :) I hope you get your BFP soon! Good luck!

I take it cd 3-7 also. I am on my second cycle and I really hope its my month! But I think that people are told to take clomid on the different days cuz of their condition whatever that may be and what their dr thinks will be for affective for you. Good luck!

I took it CD 5-9 and got pregnant on my first cycle. I don't know which would be more effective for you but 5-9 definitely was effective for me.  Which days did your doctor tell you to take it?  I would go with the days the doctor suggested and then discuss switching if those days don't work for you.

I took it on cd 5-9 and got a pregnant on the first cycle. I asked my dr why the difference? She said it really makes no difference at all. She said that older doctors tend to go with 3-7, while newer doctors use 5-9. From the research I have done on it (because I was very curious too) is that days 3-7 can make you ovulate sooner, but days 5-9 help the egg to be bigger/better. Either way, each doctor has their own preference, and I have found that drs really like for you to follow their instructions and not your own rules! LOL
