Hi. DH and I have been trying to concieve "full time" for 3 months (we were not using protection for 6 months before that). I was diagnosed with PCOS and have been on Metformin and just finished my first cycle of Clomid. The only tracking methed my OB suggested with using a fm, so I did. I did as the monitor instructed and did the first pee stick on CD 6, low fertility, CD7 also, which is to be expected, but on CD 8 I got High fertility and was High until CD 25 when I went back down to low. Since I did not use any other method and I never peaked, I have no idea if I O. I know I read about bbt a little too late, but thought I would pick it up on CD 19 and just get in the habit/routine for next month. So here are my temps CD19 - 97.7, CD20 - 97.7, CD21 - 98.0, CD22 - 97.6, CD23 - 98.0, CD24 - 98.0, CD25 - 98.1, CD26 - 98.1, CD27 - 98.1, CD28 - 98.1 (today is CD 28). On CD 26, I had a little pink spotting (twice) when I wiped. I am sure it was wishful thinking but I was thinking I had O, and that the pink spotting was implantation bleeding. Can you guys tell me what you think, please.

Strength, warmth and lots of baby dust

I wish I was better at interpreting charts, but I'm not sure what all that means. I am still trying to learn about temp patterns myself. I'm thinking about you, though and sending lots of babydust your way! Good luck and hope you get that very soon!

It looks like you could have O'ed on CD23 - however if your monitor never gave you a peak reading it could be that you didnt O... as your temps didnt go up that much... if you have PCOS your cycles can be long as you know... Ive had cycle troubles as well its not fun! And another thing I am almost 99% sure of is that if your cycles are over 45 days the OPK's or fertility monitors wont work and will give you an inaccurate reading! Ive stopped using OPK's just because Ive had such long cycles...

Good luck!

If you have a Clearblue Easy Fertility Monitor clomid can effect it's results. The instructions say that you may just stay at high fertility and never show a peak because of what the medication does to your estrogen levels.

That being said, I received a trigger shot and the next day my fm showed a surge.

Hope that helps and lots of
