OBGYN,  's  Response
Hi,
Clomiphene is usually taken for a maximum of six cycles and if there is no response after three cycles, additional measures like gonadotropins and IUI are tried apart from follicular monitoring and timed intercourse. Intercourse should take place at least on alternate days prior to and after ovulation for at least a span of one week. Though sperms can remain viable for up to 4-5 days outside, they remain active for a maximum of 3 days; the ovum has a life span of only 24 hours. This limits the efficacy of successful intercourse. Hope this helps.
