Question Hello. I have been diagnosed as "unexplained infertility" and put on Clomid. It was my 2nd cycle with 100mg from CD5-9. I am charting my BBT as well as using digital fertiity monitor. I am seeing conflicting analysis from the two and need some help.
My CM was watery from CD9-14.(CD9 and 10 was especially watery)and Digital Monitor(DM) showed High from CD11 to 14 and today showed Peak (CD15) but CM is dry. Is this caused due to Clomid? I was told to BD from CD11-16 every other day and we have been sticking to it but I am afraid we missed the ovulation.... It's confusing to me. Please help. (my cycle is 29 days usually)
Thanks for the help in advance,
Sophie
Answer Dear Sophie,
Clomid can indeed make one's CM poor. That's one of the several reasons I'm against giving Clomid to someone who ovulates normally on her own. You can read more about this at (cut and past the whole URL into your browser): http://www.inciid.org/article.php?cat=infertility101&id=26&pagenumber=1
