➔ Trying to Conceive
Hey, I finished my 1st round of 50mg Clomid last week of March and I did ovulate...I'm just waiting to get my progesterone levels tested day 21 of cycle...My period started on March 23 and I started Clomid on days 25,26,27,28,29, and my fertile days were April 6,7,8,9...
Unfortunatly bleeding isn't a sign of ovulation...you will get egg white secretions...but it is a sign of ovulation.
GOOD LUCK!!!

The reason of infertility in either male or female or both are ascertained in most of the cases with the help of certain standard testing for infertility. However, there are many cases where the infertility testing is unable to quote the reason of infertility and the age of couple is also unable to explain then this condition is referred to as unexplained infertility.
It is important to understand the significance of the period of infertility.It is quite obvious that if the reason for the infertility is unexplained then finding the right solution to the problem also becomes difficult. But now with Clomid unexplained infertility can be treated.
With Clomid unexplained infertility treatment chances for a woman to get pregnant along with timely intercourse and other treatments like IUI increases several folds. Clomid is chemically known as clomiphene citrate, or Serophene. It is used to treat infertility particularly in the treatment of condition called anovulation. Clomid helps to initiate the process of ovulation in females who do not ovulate i.e. produce and release eggs by their own. This condition occurs quite frequently in women suffering from polycystic ovaries. In case of the women who ovulate naturally clomid helps to stimulate the other follicles that get developed in the ovaries. In this way the number of released eggs is increased and therefore the chance to conceive also increases.
The treatment with Clomid is usually initiated early during the menstruation. Counting the beginning of the menstruation as the first day it is taken generally for five days either from third day or fifth day of menstruation. Usually, the treatment of Clomid begins with one tablet or 50 mg of the dose on daily basis. It is important to have intercourse if possible on the day of ovulation so that there are higher chances to become pregnant.
The day of ovulation can be determined with the help of specially designed kit available in the market. The treatment with Clomid may increase the duration of your periods. However this regains its normal duration after you quit the medication

I ovulated first try on 50 mg of clomid...hang in there...give it a month or so. You should be going for a blood test on the 21st day or so to check your progesterone levels to see if the 50 mg worked...if it didn't they usually up it to 100mg...has hubby had his sperm analysis done?

your doctor should be checking your progesterone level to confirm you are ovulating as long as you are ovulating there is no reason to up the dose this can cause hostile cervical mucus you may want to try and take Robitussin too help with your fertility mucus while on clomid cause even at the low dose of 50 mg can cause hostile cervical mucus hang in there give the clomid a chance it really does help with ovulation here is some info good luck and keep your head up i know how you feel it took me 8 years to get pregnant with my son and than i was put on clomid and got pregnant 4 months later
What is hostile cervical mucus and how can you prevent it?
Cervical Mucus Basics
A major player in a couple's ability to get pregnant is the woman's cervical mucus. Cervical mucus is a jelly like substance produced by minute glands in the cervical canal. The cervical mucus consistency varies through a woman's cycle.
Before Ovulation (low chance of pregnancy):
The first few days following menstruation, there will be little or no discharge present.
Approaching Ovulation (chance of pregnancy):
The first discharge that does appear should be moist or sticky and should be white or cream in color. In the finger test, the mucus should break easily.
Right around ovulation (high chance of pregnancy):
At this stage, mucus resembles egg whites. It is the thinnest, clearest and most abundant at this point in the cycle. During this phase, the sperm's survival rate is higher. It can survive in cervical mucus for up to 72 hours, a significantly longer time than during the rest of the cycle.
After Ovulation (low chance of pregnancy):
After ovulation, there is a marked change in mucus appearance. It returns to the sticky stage (does not stretch during finger test) and there is again a feeling of dryness around the vulva.
What is Hostile Cervical Mucus?
Cervical mucus is described as "hostile" when it is too thick to allow sperm to penetrate the cervix, thereby preventing conception.
Women who are taking Clomid to induce ovulation frequently experience hostile mucus.
One way to counteract hostile mucus is to use a lubricant that will create a more favorable environment. Pre-Seed is the only lubricant on the market that has proven to counteract the hostile mucus problem AND is not harmful to sperm. The vast majority of personal lubricants on the market today are not sperm friendly and actually reduce your chances of conceiving due to the fact that they harm the sperm.
Another way to help the hostile cervical mucus problem is to take guaifenesin. Guaifenesin is the active ingredient in Robitussin, and over the counter cough medicine in the US. You will want to find a cough syrup with has the ONLY active ingredient as guaifenesin. Any other ingredients can limit the effect you are looking for.
Recommended dosage is two teaspoons (200 mg) taken orally three times per day. If mucus still appears thick, you can take as the maximum dosage as listed on the label of the cough medicine. Water intake should be increased to encourage cervical mucus production and a full glass should take with each dose of guaifenesin.
Most doctors suggest taking Robitussin five days before and including the day of ovulation for a total of 6 days during your cycle.This helps provide the optimal environment to help the sperm survive and get to where they need to go. If you take Clomid, waiting until the day after the last Clomid pill is taken before starting Robitussin is suggested.
Guaifenesin is also available in pill format, but this format usually requires a Doctor's prescription

Font SizeA A A Postcoital Test
A postcoital test checks a woman's cervical mucus after sex to see whether sperm are present and moving normally. This test may be used if a woman is not able to become pregnant (infertility) and other tests have not found a cause.
The test is done 1 to 2 days before ovulation when the cervical mucus is thin and stretchy and sperm can easily move through it into the uterus. Within 2 to 8 hours after you have sex, your doctor collects and looks at a cervical mucus sample.
Many doctors question the value of the postcoital test to check for infertility. It is not done very often.
Why It Is Done
The postcoital test may be done if you are not able to become pregnant and:
You are ovulating, your fallopian tubes are not blocked, and your partner's sperm are normal. A problem with your cervical mucus may be causing infertility.
Immune system problems, such as sperm antibodies, may be a cause of infertility.
Your male partner does not want to be tested.
How To Prepare
The postcoital test must be done within 1 to 2 days of ovulation. Follow your doctor's instructions for checking your basal body temperature, cervical mucus, and the level of luteinizing hormone (LH) in your urine. When you check your LH level, do the urine test in the mid- to late morning, and do not drink any fluids that morning until you have done the test. If your test shows that you are ovulating, call for a doctor's visit for the next day.
Have sex about 2 to 8 hours before your visit. Do not use lubricants during sex. Do not douche or take a bath after sex, but you may take a shower.
Talk to your doctor about any concerns you have regarding the need for the test, its risks, how it will be done, or what the results will mean. To help you understand the importance of this test, fill out the medical test information form(What is a PDF document?).
How It Is Done
A postcoital test is done in your doctor's office.
You will take off your clothes below the waist. You will have a gown to drape around your waist. You will then lie on your back on an examination table with your feet raised and supported by stirrups. This is similar to having a pelvic examination or Pap test.
Your doctor will put an instrument with curved blades (speculum) into your vagina. The speculum gently spreads apart the vaginal walls, allowing your doctor to see the inside of the vagina and the cervix.
