This cycle day stuff can be confusing, especially if you only see a spot or two one day and full flow doesn't start until another day. The bottom line is, it's ok to start the Clomid Sunday -- if it's really day 4, you'll be taking it days 4 - 8 and will likely ovulate between days 13 -18. There was some study I read somewhere (how's that for specifics) that found better ovulation rates starting Clomid on days 3, 4 or 5 vs day 2 or day 6.

So, go ahead and start the Clomid tomorrow and think fertile thoughts.
