Question

CM/Ovulation Question - Advice please


So, this is my first cycle with Clomid and I know that I am supposed to have stretchy CM around ovulation but I am totally dry! WTH? Does this mean I am not going to O?

Can anyone with any insight give me a heads up?

(My post-coital test is at 2pm tomorrow afternoon but I am worried about it now. *pout*)

Hi

I am not on clomid - but I am sure have read on here that one of the side effects is that it can make you quite dry - I know there are girls on here who will be able to help you more.

I never used to get much EWCM but started taking evening primrose oil and its really helped - now have tones of it. I think you can take this when on clomid.

Good luck for your test tomorrow.

Yes I've also read a few times that dryness is a common side effect of Clomid. I'm not on it so may be some girls who do take it can help?

OMG, ladies. I am BONE DRY! (TMI?) I mean, like my DH is getting raw. *BOO*

Since my post-coital is later today, my doctor says that if my CM is bad, I may have to skip the Clomid cycles and go straight to IUI.

I am trying not to be worried about it. I really am and it is working somewhat bit still...

Can u use something like preseed? Seems like Clomid has a dark side

Sorry for being dumb, but what happens at a post-coital? Sounds kinda scary...
