What did you do to increase your CM?

Did you use any extra tricks to know that you were Oing? I can't temp because of terrible sleeping patterns, but I am expecting some OPKs in the mail if they ever get here.

What days were you taking it and then what was your O date?

Thanks!

I used a fertility monitor. I just didnt like how the OPKs left so much room to guess (is the line darker? or am i imagining it?).

Oh gosh....I think I took it CD 5 and I O'd maybe CD 15ish? I dont have my charts anymore, so I am clueless. As far as increasing my CM.....I didnt do much. At first I tried robitussin, but b/c I had no CM to begin with, thinning out nothing was like turning me into a desert. :lol: I did drink grapefruit juice like it was going out of style and I also drank soy milk. Now I cant remember why, but someone told me to :lol:

Thanks Karri! I was hoping you'd respond. ;) I have no CM either to speak of, so I'll be trying all sorts of old wive's tales for that (EPO etc). I haven't heard the grapefruit juice thing, I'll jump on that! I won't be drinking soy milk though. :dead:

I have the saliva monitor too, but I almost always have ferns which makes me think I might have some LH surges. They do change before O though thank goodness.

I took it CD 3-7 (50 mg then 100 mg) when I got PG with Gabrielle. I never took or did anything to help with CM. I still had plenty :blush: I Oed on CD 26 the 1st try and CD 28 the 2nd (and successful) try.

I am on my first cycle TTC with clomid again. This time I took 50 mg CD 5-9. I'm having a hard time with temping as well. I don't always get 3 hours straight at the same time every day. But so far I've only missed a few times.

Good Luck!

Green Tea works great for producing CM.

Colds produce tons of CM too I have discovered. Too bad I'm not on Clomid anymore. ;) Maybe this will help get eggs slip sliding around if I can ever convince DH to :boink:

i know this is months after your question but I felt i would post in here anyway so that if there is ever anyone else wanting to know the same thing they would have a reference.

I took my clomid CD2-6... I didn't O at all first try (50mg) I then O'd CD18 2nd and successful try (100mg) I didn't do anything to increase my CM other than drinking a bit more water than usual.. but i don't know if that made a difference or not....

With my 2nd son I did the same CD2-6.. then O'd CD21 1st and successful try! once again did nothing extra to increase CM...

Good luck
