PCOS ladies...could this mean what I think it means?

Hey all

It's been awhile since I've posted here, but the most bizarre thing happened to me today, and I'm wondering if it actually MEANS what I think it means.

I had my DD 9 months ago. No sign of AF since then. I'm not at all surprised...I have not gotten AF on my own in years and years. As a matter of fact, I've been debating going back on the Pill so that I don't have to worry about it until we are ready to TTC again.

Today, I felt just as I normally would on any other day, but when I came home (TMI alert) there was blood all over my underwear. I couldn't believe it

Could this possibly mean that I O'd on my own? Because if that's what it means, I'd better get on some BCP just in case my body decided to "fix" itself

Anyone have something similar happen to them? I thought I remembered hearing that just because you get AF, it doesn't necessarily mean you O'd.

I haven't O'd on my own since my early twenties...I guess it's wishful thinking.

I think b/c it has been so long, you might have just had your lining shed. Over time, it has to break down, O or not. But, ya never know! Maybe try and use OPK's this month just to see if anything happens.

Could be breakthrough bleeding.

i used the opks and even got the monitor. showed i was surging all the time when in fact i wasnt (showed i wasnt thru sonos and bloodwork) so i know how expensive it can be.

As far as bleeding my re said it doesnt necessaril mean u O'd (sorry to put a damper on things) I would get breakthru bleeding and not O as well.

Pcos stinks

I have PCOS and have also has scattered AF's since having DD....Didn't BF and they basically started coming after she was around 3 months old...

Now AF comes anywhere from 1-2x a month sometimes
Spotted all last week and yesterday AF finally arrived...Before my DD I would only get it maybe 4x a year..

Unfortunately you can have annovulatory AF's so I'm not sure if theres any way to tell except for maybe temping

I got an IUD because even though i do not ovulate on my own, you never know. I have had my period 3 times since the twins were born. I have no clue whether or not I am ovulating, but I get tons of EWCM in between periods, so who knows?
OPKs don't work for me either b/c I always have high levels of LH (which probably explains the EWCM).
ETA: my gyno said if I go more than 3 months without AF that I should call the office for a provera script. She wanted to put me back on metformin, but I vetoed that idea.

I dont ovulate...nothing even could make me ovulate until we got to IVF.

I still get my period randomly. I think it's hormonal, but not necessarily ovulation.

I still use condoms even though I dont ovulate AND my DH has sperm issues bc MY frekking luck sucks when it comes to things like this and I really have to wait a few more months before another pregnancy.

Oh and ditto for me about the provera..... I do a million PIO shots in the *** to get out of having to take one round of provera.
