If you're really getting your period that soon on Clomid (sometimes people are mixed up about when they ovulate but if I recall you're very knowledgeable) they may need to give you progesterone supps to lengthen it. (even though I agree this is an estrogen issue, the prog supplements will still lengthen the LP)
I suspect it's the weight gain and not the iodine that's helping but I regularly will have people take iodine daily 150 IU when they've been TTC a long time. I would take that daily.
Let's add in iron 18-30 mg daily and zinc 8-15 mg daily.
I would have you up fat to 65 or even 70 g.

if the progesterone cream is available (for most people it isn't) I'd do that without upping the fat. Start 3 DPO and go till 12 DPO BUT of course be sure you have taken a pregnancy test. If you're pregnant you'll need to do them for 3 months straight so you'll need to be sure to be able to get in to the doc and get more if you don't have enough.

the tablets are not terribly effective, the pessaries are what you want.
You can delay till CD 5 or even 6. It's still as effective for swaying although may be ~slightly~ less effective for conception. My gut instinct is to have you wait one more day and split the difference.
I do remember what happened in the past and I do always recommend erring on the side of caution. But I do thing that given what you've described I'd proceed by CD 5 at the latest.

It can be the Clomid. Some people respond better to the Femara. But after 5 cycles it's time for a month off anyway. I would not have you do anything this next cycle and see what happens.
What supplements are you taking?? Some of them make matters worse.
^^^^ but still DO try!
