that's a good thickness just prior to ovulating. i did several rounds of clomid, hated it. had horrible headaches, horrible mood swings and it shortened my LP. i had to start taking prog supplements in order to keep it greater than 11 days. i always had a 14 day LP prior to taking them. prog made the mood swings go away, but i still had the headaches. the key with clomid is to only go in waves of 3. 3 cycles of one dose, and then perhaps 3 cycles of the same dose with IUI, then up the dose and try again. i've seen women on the same dose for months on end with no change in protocol. there's quite a bit of literature that proves that 80% occur within the first 3 months.
