Hi Dobchops,

I am quite new on here also. I have PCOS and just done my first cycle but it didn't make me ovulate, so dose increased to 100mg and just waiting for period so can start on second cycle. Good luck with everything.

Quick question going to start charting temps soon when AF shows up, does FF tell you when ovulation going to be or does alert you after, just trying to get head round what temperature pattern i should be looking for with regards to best time to get jiggy? hope this makes sense finding all a bit confusing

i'm starting temps if this af shows up but i think your temperature will peak after ovulation,x

Hope your AF shows up soon, don't know about you but am fed up of waiting for mine!

Annie do you mind if i ask, do you have any children

 

[Annie18]

Angel, don't mind you asking at all, No i don't have any kids, trying for the first one. Am 32 and husband 34 he has been tested and he is fine which good. Took a while to be diagnosed with PCOS just didn't have a period for almost a year, then went to see specialist who diagnosed PCOS and put me on metformin he hoped this may help with ovulation, but it didn't just had 45 day(ish) cycles but no eggies! Had first round of Clomid but prog levels 0.7, so upped to 100mg and hoping it makes me ovulate this time round. x

Annie - charting your temps doesn't really help you predict ovulation at all. It confirms that it happened though which can be extremely good to know and you'll be able to see if you did time sex right instead of hoping/guessing and tiring yourself out.
If your cycles were the same length every time and you charted a few months and noticed you always O'd on CD15, then you could predict it in that sense. Some women get a drop in temp the day of ovulation so you might be able to see it that way.
If you really want the heads up before ovulation, try OPKs with the temp charting... don't wait for a positive OPK since brands are all set at different levels and you may have the wrong one at first.


Me - still BFN... still early I know. My temp went back up this morning which is a little unusual but I'm trying not to get my hopes up too far just yet. We'll have to see if the spotting starts today. Boobs are barely sore.

Thanks Angel, trying to stay positive which is easier said than done sometimes, find it is all i can think about sometimes. So nice to be able to come on here and not feel like i am alone with it all, family and friends are great but it's hard to explain to them how frustrating it is when your body doesn't do what you want it to xx

 

[Annie18]

thanks lisa for advice, just bought some opk off amazon. I really hope this is your month lisa, keeping everything crossed for you x

hi ladies

just come back from seeing my dr, he is going to call me with the results of my day 21 bloods on friday and said that if i havent ovulated then he will refer me to the hospital, he wont increase the dose of clomid himself incase of over stimulation.

he has also told me to stop charting! he said its not good because it will make me more stressed! and that that will do me more harm as far as conceiving goes. what are your thoughts on this? ive found it useful just to confirm O. i mean plenty of people chart and still get pregnant. i know its not that useful for timing BD so maybe i should just go with my positive opks. im confused now

Good morning ladies!!!

Tink, my FS specialist told me the same thing- put the thermometer away. I have still been taking temps b/c its a slight addiction I think but I do miss quite a few days. Actually my temps are completely inaccurate on Clomid as well- last month my temps would have shown that I ovulated 4 days earlier than I actually did. I may put it away for good after O this month...
its up to you....but that seems to be the consensus from the professionals
cheers,

Hello girls, hope everyone's well.
Fingers crossed for a BFP for Lisa!

I'm still a little confused with OPKs & temps. My OPK was positive on sat, also got lots of ov like pain on sat, but FF hasn't recorded ovulation yet so not really sure if I've ovulated or not. Really bad timing too this month as DH has his tests tomorrow so no BD today! Would be great if we knew exactly what was happening inside us.
