Yes, clomid can thicken your cervical mucus. This happened with me when I was TTC on clomid over 2 years ago. I took plain Robitussin beginning on day 11 until my temp rose. The nurse practitioner at my OB's office told me they would prescribe supplemental estrogen if the Robitussin did not help. It worked like a charm!
