Trying to Get Pregnant

If Clomid Ruins Your CM Can You Still Get KU?

I'm on my first Clomid cycle and even though it's only CD10, I am having creamy CM when I'm usually starting to see EWCM at this point.  Hopefully I'll still get some when I get closer to O, but if I don't due to the Clomid, does that mean I'm out for a BFP since I'm doing TI and not IUI?  I plan on using Preseed to try and help...

What was your CM like on Clomid? 

Also I posted this on TTTC so apologies if you're seeing it twice!

Re: If Clomid Ruins Your CM Can You Still Get KU?

  • I got KU on my first cycle using clomid, and didn't notice any change in my CM.  If you you think you're fertile but dont have the cm to match, I would just use some preseed.  GL!

  • Yeah, it wouldn't hurt to try the Preseed.  Be aware that Clomid can actually make you ovulate *later* than you normally do, so you might still end up having EWCM.  Definitely ask your doc, as they might pull you off the Clomid if there's a next time.  To answer the original question, though, stranger things have happened!
  • This is my 5th month on clomid and i have very little cm this time. It seemed like i had more watery cm the days taking clomid and now that ive stopped its like it instantly dried up. I have heard good things about preseed, you may want to try that.

    Really?  I thought the idea was to help you O earlier...

    I'm going for a monitoring appt. tomorrow a.m. so I'll know more by then I guess...

    my dr mentioned that to me as well, its a side effect that can occur with the clomid, it never happened to me though, i always o'd mid cycle

    It can make you ovulate earlier, especially for long cycle gals who don't normally ovulate until way later.  For me personally, it didn't change when I o'ed.  But a lot of the TTTC girls have reported that Clomid did make them O later, and that their doctors warned them about this.

    Ugh - that's annoying!  I have two weekend getaways that are "supposed" to be during my 2ww - it's so hard to plan around all this monitoring!

  • I had very little CM for my BFP chart.  In fact, that one day of watery was sort of a stretch since it was more like skim milk and not very clear.  We didn't use any preseed, but I get a lot of arousal fluid that looks and stretches like EWCM.  Hope this helps!

    edit: I was on 100 mg of clomid.
