Re: clomid and side effects

I monitored ovulation using the over the counter ovulation kits, the
kits were used during the last 2 cycles (100mg clomid for both), and I
was detected to ovulate.
Before clomid was prescribed to me, my tubes were checked to see if they
were open (this was done through an iodine-related test, don't remember
exact name of procedure), and they seemed fine.
My husband has also had his sperm count (296 billion). So I'm at a lost
as to what could be wrong???
Could you clarify "hostile cervical mucus"? What is it, how can it be
tested, and treated? Could that be something I have?
Thanks!
