Jodi, Clomid tends to move ovulation later in the cycle to typically day 17. I recommend that couples on clomid cycles be sexually active daily beginning on day 14 through 17. The old thought of not being sexually active daily has been disproven. There is no question that the total count sperm count drops somewhat with daily ejaculation. However, it has been shown that with daily ejaculation, the sperm ejaculated are younger, more vigorous forms and make up for the difference in the total count.
