OPKs and Clomid

What is the accuracy of OPKs while still taking Clomid? I take it CD5-9. This cycle I literally had a period that only lasted 24-36 hours and beginning on CD7 I really started fhaving watery tinged with white CM, which is what I normally have before O. (P.S. Clomid hasn't caused any changes in my usual CM). First two cycles on Clomid I O'd CD16 and then CD14. I normally get a few days of the test line starting to come in and gets darker as I approach O and then I get my positive and O the next day.

I took OPKs yesterday and today and I'm beginning to get my test line which makes me think I can O early ... I'm confused ...

There was one cycle, think it was my first on clomid, that I O'd on CD 11.

Thanks .. I read that too. I'm just concerned that I don't want to miss it either because I always ovulated on my own without the Clomid, so I'm not strictly relying on that to O. I've O'd as early as CD12 too, and I thought maybe w/such a light AF this month I could O soon.

In that case, I would probably go by the CM signs you are getting and assume you are ovulating early.
