Brief Answer:
Do ultrasound follicular study in one treatment cycle.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Welcome to Healthcare magic.
I am Dr Ramadevi Wani. I will be answering your concerns today.
1.     Ovulation usually occurs about 8-10 days after completing the 5 day course of clomid . However I advise that after taking clomid do follicular study in that cycle to find out the pattern of egg growth. Once the egg size is 18mm or more you must have intercourse. (You can definitely have intercourse on other days too). A week after intercourse repeat ultrasound to confirm that ovulation has occurred. To be 100% sure that ovulation occurs, consult your doctor and take Inj Human chorionic Gonadotropphin when the egg size is 18mm or more. If you take this injection there is no need for later ultrasound to confirm ovulation.

There is no need to do ultrasound with each cycle of clomid. A woman’s response to clomid is similar in each cycle. So follicular study in one month can guide you regarding the probable time of ovulation in each month.

2.     There is a possibility of multiple pregnancy if you are using clomid for ovulation. It is advisable to use clomid for no more than 6 cycles. A study done long time before showed that if clomid is used for more than 12 cycles, it increases the probability of developing ovarian tumours. So it is recommended to be used for 6 cycles.
I hope this helps. If you have further queries, do write to me. I will be happy to answer.

Brief Answer:
no problem to baby if clomid is used to induce ovulation

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome back.
I am sorry for the delay in writing due to the difference in time zone.
As I mentioned earlier ovulation occurs 8-10 days after completing the five days course of clomid
If you are not having folliculometry studies then I advise you to have intercourse every other day. This automatically covers the ovulation period too

No . There is no other significant problem with clomid. There is no problem to baby if clomid is used to induce ovulation.
I hope this helps.
If you have any other queries I will be happy to answer.

Brief Answer:
There is no problem with rope jumping while trying to conceive.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back.

There is no problem with rope jumping exercise while trying to conceive. But make sure that you are well hydrated. Do not do it for long time at a stretch. Take brake in between. Exercise only upto the point you feel comfortable. You must take care to avoid falls.

I hope this helps.
If you have further queries, do write to me. I will be happy to answer.
