hi gals, just barely catching up - some things i wanted to comment on: 1) how to check your cervix. i just poked up there every day for a cycle, and took a note in my mind of the major changes i felt. low/hard during period, high/soft (i felt like i could bbarely reach it, had to reach quite deep) during O. and back down afterwards. i think of it like a tulip - so during my period/after O, it was like a closed tulip. it almost even felt pointy. during O, i had to go almost a finger depth in, and it felt like the tulip was open a little bit. does that make any sense?
2) re: clomid - the only reason i would recommend doing the SA before the clomid is because if your man is not sending in any troops, clomid wont help (obv). and since you can "only be on clomid for so long" (not true), you kinda dont want to waste those precious few cycles. my doc gave me the clomid with the SA order, but i'm a pretty pushy patient. [i can elaborate on any of this if interested, or i can shut up].
My cervix and CM don't show O signs at that new O date!
