Clomid Help

[cassie2000]

Hi I am hoping that someone can help me.

* warning TMI *
I am about to start my first round of clomid.

last night when I went to the toilet I had brown stringy stuff and a little bit of blood and today AF showed up in full force

My question is should I count yesterday as day 1 or should I count today as day 1, please help i'm so confused.

[cassie2000]

Yep today is CD1 for you, full flow day is counted as CD1 for clomid users.

Hope that helps & GOOD LUCK!


Curious, What day are you taking yours? Im day 5 -9 and af arrived today so am about to start mine too :)

Hi Cassie2000! Good luck with the Clomid!

I have experienced around 11 cycles of clomid (not all for one pregnancy! Check out my signature for the details)

Definately count the day you saw full red bleed as day 1. My FS's have always been very clear about this. Must be full red bleed prior to 12pm to be day 1. If for example it was at tea time or late at night then the following day is CD1. The brownish stuff is all part of the 'fun' of clomid making it intersting for you to try to 'guess' what your bodies up to!

What dosage or how many tablets have they got you on? If it is a higher dosage you will probably experience a fair amount of discomfort around your ovaries for a few days around ovulation. Feel free to throw any questions at me and I'll try to help or you can PM me, whateva....

I feel so dumb now - I just found out that Clomid is not only great for regulating ovulation but that it also reduces cervical mucus production. Also 30% chance of creating hostile mucus.

Sooo..... It is really important to drink heaps of water whilst on clomid and TTC to counteract this affect. I still swear by clomid as it's the only thing that got us our beautiful little miracle DD! Drinking lots of water helps produce lots of CM which helps sperm travel thru to the egg.

[cassie2000]

Well I had no idea thank you for that. I will keep up the water lol

I'm not on clomid, but have found that green tea has really helped with cervical mucus.

I'm also getting acupuncture and taking chinese fertility herbs, so it is probably a combination, but lots of girls swear by green tea alone, just 1 -2 cups a day which my gyno said is safe. You still need lots of water too though.
