Clomid Woes

in Trouble TTC
So this is my first cycle of Clomid + TI.  I have been using digital OPKs like my RE's office told me to.  Today is CD 20 and yesterday I got my first smiley face so today is most likely my ovulation day.  I didn't have any side effects of the Clomid until ovulation time.  I have had no cervical mucous....so I have been using preseed.  This is so not like me although I have read that a lot of people lack cervical mucous when on Clomid.  Has anyone else experienced?? Have you used preseed?  I feel so broken cause this is not like me.

    clomid not only dried me up a bit but thinned my lining enougj that after three cycles my RE said no more clomid.

    If you're going by OPKs, does that mean you didn't have monitoring around cd12 or was the response so slow that after that he said justto rely on opks?

    Pressed works great! You should try that! Especially if you are on clomid .

    I'm about to start round 3 of Clomid, 150mg the first round I would get so hungry within a few hours of eating, I was eating every few hours! I use Pre-seed too. It seems to help. I'm really hoping this round works!

    This is my first round of 100mg Clomid. So I haven't noticed the dryness yet but every night about 10-15min after the pill I get a super itchy rash which then goes away. Is it just a coincidence or has anyone experienced that?

    This was me too!  We used Pre-Seed but I don't think we used enough.  It lubricated him but I'm not so sure it helped his swimmers on the journey.  Well, actually I am very sure it didn't because no BFP for us!

    I did not have anything like that, but I would be super worried if I did. I have a sulfa drug allergy that causes anaphylaxis - it is so bad now that my throat closes in a matter of minutes if I am exposed to the drug. Itchy rashes and hives can be a sign of an allergy. It could also be from something else, so I don't want to terrify you, but please call your doctor regarding this.
