what's the best tool for O while on Clomid?

I will be starting my first round next month with Clomid and I 'd like to know as to what's he best O tool..I've bought expensive Clearblue fertility monitor ,but I'm readling all over the internet that it doesn't work accurately with clomid..

I will be charting BBT and will be using OPKs as well.

How  did everybody manage O while on clomid and what was the best tool for you?

Hi!
The ClearBlue should work fine.  The BEST approach would be ultrasound--if my patients can do it, I like to ultrasound them at about cycle day 11 or 12 to see if there is a follicle(s) developing.  I then like to follow it to see how it matures and to be sure that it does get ovulated and a corpus luteum forms.  Then to confirm it all I like to do a progesterone level about 14 days after ovulation.
Any of the predictors should work--they detect the LH surge and then ovulation typically occurs about 24-36 hours later.
Hope this helps!
