Track your basal body temperature (BBT). A rise in BBT typically indicates ovulation. Use a BBT chart to monitor the pattern.
Monitoring Cervical Changes
Pay attention to your cervical mucus. Look for changes in consistency; it becomes clearer, more slippery, and stretchy (like egg white) near ovulation. This is often called “fertile mucus”.
- Note the color and texture daily. Consider using ovulation predictor kits (OPKs) to detect the luteinizing hormone (LH) surge.
Understanding Clomid’s Effect
Clomid stimulates follicle growth and ovulation. However, it doesn’t guarantee ovulation in every cycle. Some women experience multiple ovulations.
Expect some variation in ovulation timing compared to natural cycles. Regular monitoring is key to identifying your fertile window.
Other Potential Signs
Some women experience mittelschmerz, a mild twinge or ache on one side of their lower abdomen around ovulation. However, this isn’t a reliable indicator for everyone.
When to Seek Help
If you don’t detect any ovulation signs after taking Clomid, consult your doctor. They can perform tests like ultrasound to check follicle development and ovulation.
