Hello Bubblebell

Are you being monitored whilst on Clomid? E.g. Day 21 bloods, etc. That would be, by far, the best way to know what is happening.

Do you ovulate without the aid of Clomid?

Clomid (and PCOS) can cause OPKs to give false readings and it can also dry up CM. To combat the drying up, many women drink grapefruit juice and/or take robitussin (sp?)

I don't think anyone can say for sure which day you should ovulate. Perhaps you could use other methods to check, like the position of your cervix, or the changes in your BBT (basal body temperature).

Don't worry about your bad moods when posting. We all get those, Clomid or not!

Hi Girls

How is everyone? Iv got my scan on Friday and 1 minute im really impatient for it to come and the next i dont want to go because then i will no the truth and at the moment i can pretend that everything is ok. Im so worried they are going to say its bad news i just dont no what i would do, Its bad enough that we have to suffer so long to fall pregnant but to then have the possibility that its not going to work is horrible, It is all i can think about and its driving me mad. I cant stand the thought of having to go back on clomid and having the dissapointmnent every month again.

Sorry to come on here and moan but i thought you would be the best people to talk to. XXX
