Clomid raises progesterone which is a hormone which raises your basal body temperature. In most women, basal body temperature goes up right after ovulation, stays up until AF arrives, then falls when AF arrives and stays low until next ovulation. BUT when you take Clomid, for the days you take it and maybe the day after it raises your temperature (this is definitely true for me). So if you bought pills online and you want to know whether it is real Clomid or sugar pills, you can check whether it raises your BBT.
Disclaimer: if it does raise your BBT it is probably Clomid, but that doesn't mean it doesn't also have something like arsenic in it or that it is safe!!
