Clear Blue Ovulation Monitor&Clomid-concerned

[redBlues]

hello all:

I just finished my first round of Clomid  last week and I 've also used Clear Blue fertility monitor to detect the  Ovulation.The Moitor showed that I was high on Sunday,O'ed on Monday,high in Tuesday again.But I never had any CM all these times though did have some light cramping....

I'm not being monitered by my OB..so I can't confirm if the monitor was right or not for the results.

How many of you can tell that Clear blue O monitor works well with Clomid  and was able to confirm its results with other tests in the past..

I'm just skeptical about the monitor while on Clomid and not sure if I should trust it in future while on Clomid...

Hi!
I'm interested in the comment by mzwannabe!  I have found that relying on the fertility monitor too much is a mistake. Also, clomid can reduce cervical mucus--so if that seems to be a problem for you, you may want to ask to be switched to Femara.
Optimal frequency of intercourse during the fertile time ( days 11-16 usually ) is everyday to every other day.  Nature is pretty good at getting couples together when the time is right, though, so if both of you are "in the mood" even though its not your day according to the monitor--do what comes naturally!
Good luck!

Hi, i'm not gonna be much help in this department but it's been a week and a half since I took my first round of 50mg clomid and my doctor never mentioned that me and my hunny needed to track my ovulation with a kit or anything. My doctor just pretty much said after the last pill i took to be frisky for the next two weeks and then we'd call back to make an appointment and see what happens.

I know in the past when i did try ovulation kits that they would say i was ovulating when i actually wasn't since my doctor found it to be that i don't ovulate on my own. It's frustrating especially when you trust it to be telling the truth and really not knowing for sure.

Well best of luck to you and hoping for positive results, i'm not that far behind or ahead of you i guess we can check back in sometime to see where we are!
