Taking Clomid earlier in the cycle (2-6) will get more follies develop.
Taking it later in the cycle (5-9) will get less follies grow, but you should still get a dominant one.

For me, I used Clomid 2-6 cause I had low follicular recruitment, so the idea was to get me to have more follies with the hope of getting a good dominant one and a good CD14 O.

Others need the more mature follies from taking it cd5-9.

Did you O with taking it CD5-9?

Good luck.
