How do you know the clomid is working?

[Dr. Tal]

I had fairly bad side effects to clomid when I was on it. I cramped a lot more when I O'd (or maybe I just didn't cramp before becasue I didn't O), I got quite bad headaches, and I'd feel very slow. That one is hard to explain. It was like I saw things happening and knew they were, but I didn't care, or coulnd't react fast enough. It was like I was in slow motion but the rest of the world was still movng as usual. I also got a bit of facial hair not heaps, but probably about half a dozen grey whiskers.

As I mentioned before my first cycle on it did nothing. The next cycle though I knew it was working becasue I got heaps of EWCM and I never got that before, or if I did it was just a little tiny bit. I had blood tests on day 21 to confirm that I had or had not O'd, that's really the only real way to be able to tell. The first month I did O (my second cycle of clomid) I didn't O until about day 19.

Do you temp or chart or anything like that? I could usually tell if/when I O'd based on my temps.
