It can look like fertile CM, but the "mucins" that help the sperm swim thru to the egg, may have been negatively effected.

I also agree with SS, just because you have some right when you stop the Clomid, doesn't mean that's going to continue.

Of course, 25 mg is a pretty low dose and it may just mean it hasn't affected you as much as it would have someone taking 50-100. If you MUST take an antihistamine, I would only take ONE the day I planned to attempt.

I'm glad you're feeling better!!

thank you.

I can honestly say that I will not be doing anymore clomid.my doctor and I believe it just doesn't agree with me.I look grey in colour and as much as I feel better I'm still very shaky and having side effects.I am just so sensitive to everything,honestly I know it's not the same but I have one alcoholic drink and it time for a taxi lol.it's not for me atall.I had a phone consultation with my GP and if this cycle is not successful then my next step is progesterone after O.I had already considered this but when the nurse prescribed me clomid I was delighted.I just couldn't bare to feel this way again :( !

you know I'm only CD 9 and I've already changed my plan 3 times and I'm now thinking to go all out like yourself.BD everyday until O is confirmed.I think you have a good chance of BFP,KMFX for you :)

oh honey, I'm so sorry. I have had a bad reaction to every prescription drug I've ever been on too - I think some of us are just like that. Praying you are preggo this month!!

Thank you so much atomic.i only have to look at a tablet to feel it's effects lol.I soo hope so too.will keep updating :) ! J1W x

Update- so it seems the clomid wasn't completely to blame.I ended up at hospital yesterday as I couldn't breath and looked a funny colour.I have a chest and sinus infection.so this has been brewing in me all week.I might,just might consider another clomid cycle if no BFP this time.

PS - I don't actually LIKE this but I am happy to know that it's something treatable.
