Hello!
Im new to this site. I stumbled upon it while searching for answers and support from others TTC. Some of my background history: I have two children ages 11 and 6, and now I fear we waited to long to conceive our last. I am 30 and was diagnosed with PCOS two years ago. I stopped BC in September. LMP was October 3rd. I started taking the supplement Fertilaid a week ago. My question is, and this might be TMI, how can you tell if you are ovulating from cervical mucus? I find that I often have the stringy clear mucus. For example I had some a few days ago, and I got excited thinking maybe ovulation had occured. But today it happened again! What am I missing here? Is it normal to have this kind of discharge often, and if so how can you tell the difference. I dont want to drop a lot of money on ovulation tests until I get a period, so I have some sort of date to base the tests off of.
Second question, Im having trouble dealing with some personal feelings of not only self hatred, but feeling like I am selfish every time I cry over seeing those wonderful BFNs. I think about others who arent even fortunate to have just one, and here I am crying about #3. I tried to reach out to friends who have struggled with infertility but they werent any help. My husband is supportive, but I know he is sad too.
