Hi ladies.
I'm writing this while on vacation (obsession). Last cycle I O'ed on day 18 or 19, according to FF. I DID get a + OPK on the evening of day 18, but my post O temps were so low that I questioned whether or not I really O'ed at all.
This cycle, we're away AND I'm sick. That in itself is a bummer but its making temping a problem. Because of traveling and being up sick during the night, I've had to miss a temp or two and I've also taken my temp a little later than usual some days, and I really had no choice.
I'm currently on CD 19, with no + OPK and no signs of ovulation, like the sore BBs I usually get. I've had a couple of super-long anovulatory cycles in the past, and I'm wondering if this could be one of those cycles, even though it is a little soon to say.
I'm also wondering if the traveling and being sick could be what's delaying O.
I just found out I have PCOS not too long ago, and have been obsessed with whether or not I'm Oing ever since. This doesn't make me feel better :(
Thanks.

(((HUGS))) That's too bad that you are sick on vacation, I hope you get better and can enjoy yourself.
Make an ovulation ticker
Very interesting....this is basically where I'm at:
About a month ago I had a U/S which showed that my ovaries were cystic. I got a call from the NP in the office who basically told me that cystic ovaries mean I have PCOS, to some degree. Just how much that will affect my fertility, if it does at all, will remain to be seen. I told her that I do get periods pretty regularly, with the exception of the occasional really late period, which now I think might have been late ovulation or an anovulatory cycle.
After that U/S, I did wind up getting a + OPK on day 18 and got my period on day 32. I had my day 3 blood work and everything appeared normal, except for slightly high prolactin. I am currently away on vacation, otherwise I'd be having my day 21 blood work around this time.
As far as "treating" the PCOS, she seems pretty confident that I am ovulating on my own because I've had + OPKs and get a regular period. Once I do some more blood work and the HSG, she wants to start me on 50mg of Clomid.
However, I am now on day 19 with nothing but neg. OPKs, and I'm hoping this is due to my being a little sick and traveling. I'm trying to be patient but this is very frustrating.
Do you suggest I do something else or ask her to do more? I was devestated by this "diagnosis" and I'm wondering just how much it's really affecting me. I'm very confused and upset by it.
