Patient's question:
I started taking Premarin, one tablet daily for 7 days, and Clomiphene, one tablet daily for 5 days, from the third day of my menstrual period. My menstrual cycle is 37 days long. Can I test for ovulation on the 15th day of my menstrual period? If not, from which day should I start testing?Doctor's answer:
The date of ovulation is generally about 14 days before the next menstrual period. Starting from the first day of the next menstrual period, count backwards 14 days or subtract 14 days to determine the ovulation day. The ovulation day, along with the 5 days before it and the 4 days after it, together constitute the fertile window.
