I am on a higher dose of clomid this month. Treatment for mild PCOS.
I had been taking EPO but stopped 2 days ago as I had spotting everyday from cd 9. Today is cd11 and still seeing some red when checking cm.
Scan yesterday showed 2 follies on right side but I am concerned about lack of cm.
Mucinex tablets didn't arrive in time so I have just been drinking as much water as possible.
Is there anything else I can be doing? It is likely I will have trigger shot tomorrow night.
Maybe add some preseed. It is also recommended for blue sways! Good luck!
Yes agree with pre-seed, also are you drinking enough? I have never had huge amounts of CM but I'm drinking 1ltr of water with fresh lemon added everyday and hot lemon water in the morning with breakfast - I have noticed a huge increase in CM all cycle since I started.
Or try YesBaby, it's an organic sperm friendly lube and I love it...feels just like my natural fertile CM snd DF agrees.
grapefruit juice.
we have had some mixed results with the EPO with a big minority of people reporting less CM with it.
:agree: YES. Grapefruit juice always does the trick for me, REALLY, you will see results within a couple of days!!!Quote:

Estrogen over 2000 today and follies are 18mm and 15mm. Was given trigger this morning and now just waiting to ovulate.
I am hoping the 2 eggs give me twice the chance to get a bfp even with the cm issue.
Good Luck Janse :fx:
Each cycle can be different though, and if you weren't etting EWCM because you didn't have enough raw materials, then it may be smart to try something a second time to see if you get better results. With that level of E you should be getting some/ :)
We have already decided to have a break next month if this cycle doesn't work. To give both my sanity and lining a break. Thankfully the ovulation confirmation scan and blood tests showed both ovulation and a lining of 10mm up from 6.5mm on the Thursday before (day of trigger).
Hopefully to save enough for one last clomid attempt with IUI.
I am not understanding the lack of ewcm especially with the estrogen level. I am hoping it just wasn't showing during checks or something? I know it surged very quickly though- from 1100 to 2225 in 2 days.
I never really had EWCM which is why I used preseed with each attempt and I got a boy. I have heard that clomid can also dry you up
That's what I think, you probably had some and it just didn't make its way out. I've gotten boys in months I had no visible CM (and one of them when I didn't even KNOW what it was haha)
