No fertile cm :(
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.

- swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!
Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after remověng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic
Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

grapefruit juice.
we have had some mixed results with the EPO with a big minority of people reporting less CM with it.

Thank you ladies.
I tried grapefruit last cycle with no success.
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.

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.

Not sure where to ask not TTC
