we are trying to conceive and im taking clomid the drug that makes u ovulate since I never get a period. its day 20 of my cycle and just now do I have egg white cervical mucus that they say is related to ovulation. along with crams and backache!?!?
iv been trying to conceive this month since day 10. im very confused. I thought you couldn't ovulate this late in a cycle??? or could it be early preg signs? any help would be great!!
also if this is O I wont be able to have intercourse till like 10 tonight :( would that lower my chances waiting since the egg is only available 12 to 24 hrs?!
Well I left out I take provera to get a period first!!! And for the ppl that commented on my home life??? How dare u. U dont know my life and that was not a part of my question. I'm done with site. Get a life assholes

Go get yourself an ovulation test kit. Cervical mucous like this is one sign of fertility, however, if you want better than just a guess from a stranger on a computer, spend the money for an ovulation test.
Why aren't you using an ovulation predictor kit? Seems like a waste to be serious enough to go on Clomid but not serious enough to pee on a stick.
You can absolutely ovulate that late. I have a 29 day cycle and always have, and have gotten pregnant the last 2 times on day 20 and 21.
They don't always tell you this, but Clomid can actually decrease the quality and quality of your cervical mucus. Sometimes this drug is best when used with inseminations for that reason. My advice would be to have intercourse whenever you can, because ovulation can happen at odd times during the month and can even happen twice a month (which is why the rhythm method rarely works all the time).
Clomid is usually taken days 5-9 of your cycle and ovulation occurs around the 14-15, but who knows what your situation is. I'm sure 10 tonight would be fine. Even if you are pregnant, no harm done. The doctor who gave you the clomid should have given you instructions.
If you never get periods, how do you know WHEN your cycle starts? Observe the CM and get an OPK (Ovulation predictor kit) or a Clear Blue Easy fertility monitor. You should have a few days of mucus before your peak fertility day.
You can definitely ovulate late. I don't ovulate until day 25 of my cycle. It's also why a lot of women who have been "trying for months" aren't pregnant - they have no idea when they ovulate and just assume it's on day 14. Now, taking clomid, that is a little odd to ovulate that late, considering clomid should force the ovulation a few days after taking it. EWCM doesn't indicate ovulation for sure. I would invest in a clear blue easy fertility monitor (or at the very least some ovulation predictor sticks). You can find a used one on ebay/craigslist for half the price and resell when you get pregnant. Or the nearly free way is to take your temperature every morning and chart - that will definitely tell you when ovulation is.
