Clomid...is this normal?

I am getting ready to start my second round of clomid and my period is totally weird this time. I have clots sometimes, but not terrible. This time it's so thick it's like it's a lot of clots, but no real flow. Is that normal after taking clomid? Do I consider this the first day of my menstrual cycle because there's some bloody discharge or do I wait until there's a "normal flow" to begin counting?

    I don't know what to tell you....when you say "bloody discharge" but talk about lots and lots of clots; are you talking more like it has the consistency of EWCM but the color of blood with clots in it? But no flowing only when you wipe?  Or are you saying you have to use a tampon or pad but it just seems more thick & clotting to you? 

    If it's just when you wipe then I'd say mark it as spotting and not CD1.  If it's any more than just when you wipe, then I'd say as long as it's red (not brown or light pink) mark it as CD1. 

    As for has this happened to me?  No, while my periods after a clomid cycle seemed to be a little heavier and slightly more cramping, I didn't notice them being it being more "thick" or more "clots".  Usual thickness (just move volume total), usual clots.

    My cycles after clomid are very heavy and full of clots. There is plenty of real blood flow though, not just clots.

    DX PCOS June 2011, SA: low volume and concentration, 2% morph
    June 2011 Clomid 50 mg + metformin 500 mg = BFN
    August 2011 Clomid 100mg + metformin 500 mg = BFN
    October 2011 Clomid 100mg + metformin 500 mg = no response
    January 2012- Clomid 150mg + metforming 750 mg ER + trigger + IUI #1 = Cancelled due to poor response. 
    February 2012 - cancelled due to finaances
    April 2012 - Jumped ship to a new RE 
    May 2012 - New round of testing
    June 2012 - starting supplements, saving for IVF
    June 2013 - ready to start IVF, one more SA - all clear! Dr. Suggest starting with 50mg Clomid and Ovidrel instead. Have to resolve thryoid issues first. 
    August 2013 - 50 mg. Clomid + Ovidrel = BFN
    September 2013 - 50 mg Clomid + Ovidrel = BFP on Oct. 7th!
    10.8.13 = 1st Beta 199
    10.10.13 = 2nd Beta 502
    10.14.13 = 3rd Beta 3,998
    11.4.13 = 1 little bean measuring right on track with a heartbeat of 174!
    12.2.13 = Genetic testing normal, It's a BOY!

    I finally called my Dr & he said that unless there is what I would refer to as a "normal flow" do not count it.
