E3d or e4d on clomid?

[Kmomofthree]

Hello,

So last month was an unsuccessful cycle and I now realize that I was doing too much ( le diet, cardio, one attempt, acijel, clomid etc)

This cycle is dropped acijel.

FF says that I am to ovulate today cd 14. I've been having strong O symptoms since early last week. My cp was high yesterday with ewcm so we made our attempt.

I had been opk'ing but I never really seem to get a positive so I don't really rely on them. Anyway, for whatever reason I decided to do one last night at midnight right before bed and it was positive (smiley face).

The only other time that I got a very clear positive I didn't O for a full two days. So now I'm wondering if I may not O as soon as I thought I would.

Ultimately my question is this; can sperm survive for a 3 day cut off in clomid affected cm?

I'll also add that when I did have ewcm it was so incredibly minimal and when we dtd I did orgasm.... on accident but maybe it was a good thing....

I would do E4D since you used acijel last cycle. Make sure you BD until 4dpo just in case. I would never advise using a jelly on Clomid, personally. I wouldn't go to E3D yet.

What CDs/dose of Clomid?

My cervix was weird on Clomid. It took longer to open fully before O than it usually does, and once it was open it took a lot longer to close. Very strange!

Thanks maiden!

Just 50mg 3-7 :-)

Bumping for atomic..... I just want to feel sure that I have a chance at getting pregnant with a one attempt 2 or 3 day cut off while on clomid.

We bd Saturday 11 am now it is Monday and all signs point to today as O day.

2 days before O is ideal timing and even 3 days is decent. 4 days before is lower odds but still totally possible on Clomid.

So I didn't get my temp spike today like I expected :-/ I have never ovulated past cd 15 so that kind of threw me off. I'm scared to wait until dtd tomorrow. I'm afraid I'm going to O today and then have a 3 day cut off.... I don't know why I have such a hard time wrapping my brain around the possibility of conceiving with a cutoff like that on clomid.
My cm is SO minimal right now but I do still have very very mild cramps (they were super painful last week and through the weekend).

Would it kill my chances of a girl to dtd tonight so that would put us at 3.5 days?

Sorry I don't know the answer but bumping for atomic to see xx

[Kmomofthree]

Thank you :-)

It's ok, I know she's very busy.

I think I will go ahead and bd again tonight.... that's 3 and a half days since our last bd so it's almost 4 but makes me feel like i have a better shot. I don't want to waste a month on clomid. And I really don't want a December baby, hah.

My youngest was a December baby it's pretty special but o agree to not wasting a month of Clomid! Good luck!!! Xx

Of course I would be happy with a December baby :-) Fall is just the only season that I don't have a baby in so that is why I was hoping for it. October was ideal but eh that didn't happen!
