Please help. Last cycle with clomid/dryness

Jill
This is my last month with clomid. I'm on 100mg. Been on it for 6 months. The last month clomid caused so much dryness that I had horrible itching. I was prescribed Estrace 1 gram (a estrogen cream) a few days ago. It's suppose to help with cervical mucus. I'm suppose to stop the cream on day 10. I'm on day 8 and still feel dry. What else can I do to increase my CM before ovulation? I'm stressing. Anyone ever used Estrace? If so how long does it take to start working?
If this time doesn't work, I'm off to see a RE 😕
