Hm... I generally get the creamy/thick/white first, then watery for a while, then maybe a day or so of eggwhite at O. So maybe the creamy is a sign your estrogen is increasing and you're building up towards O? I don't know much about pcos treatment though. I wish I could be more help!

Shame thanx so much hun. Well I'm gonna have to ride out this cycle and keep up with BD and start testing late next week...and see if AF arrives etc...what a month!!! Feel good bout it tho

So when do you think it is bst for me to take a test - I am 10DPO today, did one this morning, big BFN but I only have the cheap internet one's for now, AF is due on the 21st (I have 25 - 28 day cycles). I have to go on a work trip for 2 weeks on Sunday so I hope I know before then!

If you have a bunch of internet cheapies, you can just test everyday until you leave. At least, I would. But then again, I'm a little nutty like that. And if you don't know by then, you canjust take a few tests with you.

well I tested last night with the IC & A digi - got my BFP!

Yes you need at least 3 hrs if uninterrupted sleep with no getting up

I know this is an old thread, but here goes!

Does anyone know if it's OK to take your temp AFTER getting out of bed? I.e. nipping next door to the bathroom?

Don't want to freak OH out, we have had issues with performance anxiety.

Thanks, SJ

I'm pretty sure that if you wake up at the same time everyday and walk the same few feet to the bathroom that it shouldn't make a difference. As long as you're not moving a lot and not giving you temp time to rise, it should be fine. Just be peaceful in the way you move.

Could you take a peek at mine? I don't think I O this month and think AF is starting today. I had a MC on 6/4 and as of Thursday hcg was still 19, so don't know what other pregnancy hormones were still there effecting things. I also started Metformin, so don't know if that would have any effect. My times are all over the place too (don't know if you can see the times on the share page.) My Chart

I'm so sorry about your m/c hun. It doesn't look to me like you O'd, though with your times being so off it's hard to tell. Still, I would think it's pretty likely that your hormones just hadn't gotten into gear again yet this month. Good luck this new cycle. I'll keep my FX'd for you.

Estrogen has a secondary surge around 4-7dpo and can cause a dip in temp, so you may have to wait a couple days to see if you get a full rise. GL!

[Vic20581]

Ooooo.. I would absolutely LOVE a 28 day cycle. Shortest I ever had was 33 I think. 28 would be heaven!!

Yeah. My last period started on March 3.

Thanks so much for this! I've been temping and charting for the first time this cycle and didn't feel like I was getting anywhere with it, but after reading your post I just bought the BD basal thermometer as I think mine isn't that great and didn't think that might be the problem until reading this! You should be on commission with them!
