Clomid sway ideas?

:ttc:I am 37 and next cycle my OB is putting me on Clomid, which I have heard sways girls, but I am afraid of the Cancer risk. More than likely I will use the Clomid due to my need for a girl after having 4 handsome boys, but I am not sure how to change my sway.

I am not strict on the diets, but low everything and I eat like a bird. Never have breakfast. I have extreme anemia, vit D deficiency, and my thyroid meds are being adjusted (Graves disease/thyroidectomy 2003). My last cycle was just 27 days, Oed on cd 21 per FF, and my LP was just 8 days. Previous cycles was 31 days Oing on CD19 with a LP of 11 days. I am guess my depleted hormone levels have started to mess with my cycles that were perfect 28 days or so with a normal LP? This being said, how do you incorporate Clomid in your sway? I have heard I have to take a few things like jellies, antihistamines, and so forth?

Should I still attempt this month or wait for the Clomid? I hardly have any EWCM anymore. Had tons with my first two boys, then it got less with the last two. My PH has been in the 4-5 range (just got my PH strips & will check it this week), so part of me thinks that jellies and douches are not needed, but I have used RepHresh on cd 5 and cd10 this month and I just got my SYLK in the mail to use DTD. Thought about still TTC this month before I start Clomid next month, but not sure if I should? Any thoughts?

Go ahead and try this month using jellies (at least you won't feel like you're wasting them! :)) and then next month if you don't get pg, then you can drop the jellies and do the Clomid. Also, it's best to skip the antihistamines with Clomid and to try to get in several attempts rather than just one, with optimal pg timing (rather than sway timing) because you need to get pg quickly. 1-3 months on Clomid doesn't raise your risks of cancer but it's still best to minimize it. Without a doubt, DO NOT DOUCHE while on Clomid.

If you're not getting good EWCM even without the Clomid, you may need to do some Robitussin with the Clomid to make sure you have enough to TTC with.

Remember, you can't take vitex or SP with Clomid either but you can take it the month before.

Your boys are DARLING! (you too! :))

Do I want EWCM for a girl? I don't have much of that at all, more watery. I get lots of creamy though. Do I need Robitussin? Confused? What about SYLK?

What dosage and days are you doing? I am doing just the diet, baby aspirin, dh in doing fr and then when I get positive opk we will start trying. No other jellies, antihistamines, douches or anything. I am doing strict diet though. Good luck! Maybe you'll get your bfp this month!

I am not sure of the dosage for Clomid yet. Will know if AF shows. I am not strict on the diet, just low everything, so I guess I need to use at least SYLK with Clomid?

Well, that's what I mean when I say strict with the diet...low everything! And I do know meats, eggs, beans. I tied sylk and it burned really badly for me. Have you tried it out yet?

Hi there I am new to GD and am also planning a mild girl sway while on Clomid. I am just wondering why you don't recommend douching while using Clomid (atomic). Thanks in advance for any info you can provide....after reading many of the other posts I am truly amazed at the amount of knowledge you have!!!!!

Atomic can answer better than me but clomid makes your cm hostile as it is so you don't want to add anything to make it worse. Also, you don't want to do anything that will make it harder to get preggo like douching or jellies.

so if Clomid makes CM more hostile, does that mean more creamy girl CM or none at all? if it lessens it, how can the swimmers swim?
