Well, actually I did get one of those kits today, coincidentally! I take
Clomid days 3-7 so I'm expecting to ovulate in the next few days. how
about discharge... mine is already "pastey." Is this from the Clomid?
Usually it doesn't get like this until after ovulation.
And how can I thin it if not? Does anyone know anything about Robotussin
and when you should use it?
