Clomid's affect on OPKs and monitors? Reliable?

Yeah, the missing temps don't help, but the point was to show that my chart wasn't exactly clear as a bell in defining O, but it was enough that I knew I did. For a long time I had O set on CD 23 (I had to override it because FF never gave me crosshairs) but after looking at it again recently I came to the conclusion above. I agree that it was likely the day before but I hesitate to put crosshairs where a temp isn't available so I marked it as is. My other clomid chart has next to nothing in it. I was kinda "over" TTC and need a break from it all but didn't want to stop trying so I didn't really chart much, basically just AF and one day of CM. So, the chart I posted is all I have for reference as far as what happened last time.

Oh, and whether the OPK will ever tell me anything or not I finally have another sign that O will be soon. My CP has been soft, high, open for a few days and my CM has been confusing at best but as of this evening I have EWCM. Does nothing to tell me when O will be... I've gone days, sometimes over a week, with EWCM before I O'd but at least it is something!

Thank you it is SO frustrating. Here's today's, I still have trace ewcm (unlike last cycle where I had gobs of it) so I don't think I missEd the window. Temps are still down too (the did rise with Clomid last month while on, and then lowered/stabilized, then shifted as you'd expect so I HOPE that trend continues and temping is something I can rely on, but I'll take what atomic said too.
Two I don't think you missed it either...

Here is my test from yesterday and today so I think LH is on the rise (top is yesterday)

Looks that way to me too!! Everything is crossed for you. No, you didn't thread crash at all! I posted this thread because several of us were having issues. This is as much your thread, and the other's, as it is mine :D Most ppl don't follow the support threads so I figured posting and asking would be the most efficient way to get answers for all of us :)

Sounds/looks pretty promising, Two & Hitme! I think Two will likely O around CD16 and Hitme, any day now.

Hitme's chart is an excellent example of clear O despite meds. Thanks for posting that!

it was so tempting to take Clomid this cycle myself just to see how I respond but it would be a waste since I don't have a new donor yet.

I hope you find your donor soon!
My lh was stronger this morning - by the time hubby rolls in it should be positive. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07...dcad84e056.jpg

Hitme-Yeah, I'd say you are definitely rounding the corner to a +!! Yay!

It's hard for me to remember when ppl don't have a signature or something that says, so don't hate me ;) , but remind me are you TTC Pink or blue? Thinking pink, but not 100%

Maiden- Unless I get a + OPK today I am still thinking CD 17, but either way I'd be happy! Either way is several days sooner than my usual O time. I just hope we catch the egg and I get a BFP! Today is CD 14 and we BD'd on CD 12 and we are due to BD again the 16th. I am thinking we will make that one an am BD (hubby is off that day so we have options :D ) just in case I do O on CD 16, but we'll see how it plays out.

Swaying pink, and thought my profile said so! I better go have a look. The Clomid im on is just for swaying pink or twins lol

Oh, I almost never look at profiles :/ Mostly just to PM... I think we talked about this in the 2 WW thread but I am not taking clomid to TTC twins but I am certainly not opposed :giggle: GG twins would be like a dream come true :D GB twins would be awesome too :D I'll be thrilled with whatever we get, as long as he/she/they are healthy though. I only want sticky, healthy bean(s), I'd like to keep what is left of my sanity lol, so no more losses for me (like I have any control over that, but I am sure you know what I mean).

I was just wondering because of the whole one attempt thing with a girl vs making like bunnies for boys lol. Here is hoping your one attempt catches the eggie :) :fx:
