I'm officially posting over here again! Update with chart (fixed with link below)

Chart posted below in later post....

I hope you all will welcome me back as we are officially TTCing for #2. I have been lurking to get back up to speed but now we are official so I wanted to reintroduce myself.

I have PCOS so not sure what to expect - with DD#1 (who is 14.5 months old) I was told I wouldn't get pregnant on my own by an RE and my OB and we hit it the first month (on met). My periods were getting shorter - from 42 days down to 30 so we decided to hold off on the met this time - I know I O'd last month - but we didn't start trying to this month and now I"m on day 22 and not 100% sure if I have o'd yet so we are still BDing in case.

Maybe you all can help:

I have had ECM for the past 5 days (since day 17). My temp dropped on day 19 to 96.68 - and has been back up to 97.38 every day since - My FF chart isn't showing an O - but saying fertile still. I have had a light to darker line on the OPK sticks but since CD 19 has gotten darker each day - so not sure if I'm still going to O or what is going on.

Please send a lot of Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

What CD are you on now?

FF won't show your crosshairs (ovulation date and coverline) until 3 dpo.

Can you post your chart?

Yay another sping '07 Mom trying for #2!

I am not a lot of help, I had to take met and clomid for my DS. We are trying a few months without anything this year since my cycles have been kind of regular but no luck yet. I am going back to the OB and RE in a few weeks.

I don't want to give you any kind of false hope - but that to ME - would mean an implantation dip - ESPECIALLY if it went back up and stayed there!

Can you post your chart???

I can try... temping has been hard b.c DD wakes a different time each day so I had a hard time taking it at the exact same time- much easier to do the first time - but she also was waking at night in the beginning so I wasn't getting necessarily 3 continuous hours in the morning.

Posting chart help:

When looking at your chart, click on Sharing then Home Page Setup. You should see a link there. Copy/Paste here under Insert Web Image

I don't think you have ovulated yet.

Actually, you may be ovulating today with your +OPK yesterday. I don't think we'll be able to tell for a few more days, but keep BDing just in case you are ovulating today or tomorrow.

I know that I get EWCM as early as 5 days before O - so that's definitely a possibility.

Once you ovulate, you'll see a clear thermal shift. Your temps after O would all be higher than your pre-O temps. Right now I'm not seeing that.

It's also very hard to tell due to the inconsistencies. All of those open circles mean that your testing was not consistent - so it may make it more difficult to see a pattern. For now, I would trust the OPKs and use temps as your secondary signs.

The only thing I worry about with the OPKs is that I was told by OB and on the package that they might not be accurate with PCOS? I agree not sure about whether I O'd or not - but the 2 days before the line was pretty dark too but not quite as dark as the test line - Chat Icon

I used dollar store OPKs last time and they worked differently and charting was so much easier when you don't have a toddler who doesn't sleep consistently at night (but at least recently she sleeps thru the night).

that's a rough one.... i wanted to wait to comment - because by no means am I an expert on what a chart should look like....

You don't have any temps high enough to say that you did ovulate this month yet....

The way my temps usually work (just to give you my info) is that i'll be all over the place - around 97.0 and below and maybe a tiny bit above - but there is always one place they don't go above. I may NEVER get above 97.3 - but once i've ovulated - i'm above 97.3 BIG TIME.... Like i'll hit 98.6 the day after I O... so like maybe said - there's a CLEAR shift....

Well I just got another positive OPK so I'm guessing I'm oing soon - this time it is a definitely positive as the line is darker than the control line - I just can't believe I o'd so late - as I never o'd this late before so keep your fingers crossed.
