this is very exciting for me. i have PCOS and haven't ovulated on my own since august. i am seeing an RE and last cycle did clomid which failed, i didn't O.
this cycle i did femara and follistim injections but when i went to the RE for my follie check on tuesday (CD12) i had 10+ large follies, so they canceled my cycle. no trigger and no BD til i get AF. i was really upset about it cause i feel like it took so much to get those follies and now i just have to let the eggs die away. i really didnt think there was a chance i was going to O on my own...
anyway i chart BBT and i figured it would be interesting to see if any of the eggs released on their own. wednesday morning i had a high temp (a post-O type temp). i was cautiously optimistic. the last two days i also had post-O temps, so FF gave me my crosshairs and it DOES appear that i have ovulated!!
now there is very VERY little chance that i actually got pregnant this cycle. the last time we BD'd was saturday morning and i dont think I O'ed until at least some time on tuesday. so i know i have about a 0.00001% of actually being pregnant. but considering i dont know how many of those eggs released - that might be a good thing. i dont want to be an octomom.
anyway sorry this is so long - i am just thrilled to have ovulated this cycle and to even have the slight glimmer of optimism that we may have a shot in the dark...
thanks!! even if its not - actually Oing without a trigger - even if its a result of meds - is still a huge positive for me.
You're absolutely right, ovulating at all is great progress!! What's good is you're already under the care of an RE and are already 'nipping this thing in the bud' .... for lack of better words
If I remember correctly... you were previously on the pill. Did you have period problems before going on it?

i didnt have any problems prior to the pill that i was aware of. chances are i had PCOS back then but i did get my period regularly. it was 12 years ago and i was young though so i dont remember very clearly. i KNOW my cycle wasnt erratic though - i DEF got AF every month. i dont know if i ovulated regularly back then but i did have bad acne that at the time i thought was just from being a teen but now im pretty sure it was an early pcos symptom. there is def a part of me that feels my pcos is the result of BCP, but there is no proof that that can happen and no doctor would agree with that either.
i know you are waiting out O or AF my first cycle i made it to like cd60 and then called the doc and got provera. the next cycle i did O but not til cd32.. and until now i havent O'ed since that time.

Thank you for the info! I am looking forward to speaking to my doctor on Modnay to see what he suggests I do... My biggest fear is that I will be blown off because I haven't been off the pill long enough to really take proactive measures. I know my concerns are arguably not validated since we haven't been trying as long as most people to be concerned..... but I am just SO impatient!!!!
