Atomic I need some advice please

I’m on cd 18 of my 3rd round of clomid (6th total). Pretty sure I’m not pregnant [emoji22] my cervix is low/hard and my cm has dried up...I felt good about it and now I feel like I missed My O.
I did clomid days 3-5 and we had sex CD 7, 9, 12, 13, 16. I started testing on day 10 with the clear blue advanced and it was low day 10, high 11 and peak day 12.
I got a peak on CD 13 at 6am on clear blue advanced monitor and also pretty close to a positive on an Internet cheapie. ******well, I realized that i had bought the wrong refill sticks on amazon for the clear blue opk (I apparently bought the clear blue fertility Monitor refills..which don’t work for the CB advanced sticks ?) I only had one “real” clear blue advanced purple stick from the original pack and that’s what I used Day 13 and it was a solid smile peak first thing in morning.

I feel sick to my stomach thinking we missed my ovulation :( assuming maybe I ovulated late night day 11 and I missed my ovulation by not having sex that night. I was trying to do E4d and attempt at positive opk but looks like my attempt was the day after my ovulation and DH sperm can’t last that long with no CM from clomid?

My question is...do I ask for a 4th round of clomid? It would be my 7th total. I want a girl but I want healthy and to actually get pregnant more. I feel completely defeated this Month didn’t work. Is it hurting my chances of conceiving from clomid? Messing up my lining for long term? Guess I needed to do it every other day. I’m so upset at myself for getting the wrong CB opk sticks and potentially missing O.

Please tell me what I should do next. Thank you!

I mostly answered this in another thread but the Clomid doens't mess you up in the long term, only while you're taking it.

You can still get pregnant with that pattern even without the additional attempt. You're not out yet! I could not tell you what day you Oed based on OPK (and I'm an expert!) my point is that you don't even know when your attempt fell in relation to O and you very well may have had a perfect attempt. YOu just cannot tell the day you O based on OPK!

Good luck and keep me posted!

I’m going to start my 4th round of clomid. My progesterone was 19 at cd 20 which is lower than the last 3cycles I used clomid. Does that seem low?

Should I do every other day this time? Or still do E4d with extra attempt?

Also, should I or my husband stop drinking? I didn’t drink that much this month but when my husband drinks its whisky.
Thank you :) J

Progesterone of 19 is fine and indicates that you did ovulate.

I explained about the pattern of BD in your other thread.

I do think alcohol can be a good sway tactic, I doubt it is inhibiting conception but if you're concerned about it, then leave it out.
