Thanks. I did of course. But my temp only went up slightly so not sure I ovulated. Do you think those opks indicate pcos?

Looks pretty anovulatory right?

No I don't think that indicates PCOS. PCOS is hard to diagnose and we'd need a lot more to go on than some OPK. Like, blood tests of hormone levels and stuff. I think we'll know more in a couple days when we see if the temp goes up again at all.
I plan on having cd3 bloodwork done. I had some done in July but it was about 3 days before AF in the midst of a short cycle and she said my numbers indicate perimenopause ..cry..cry...although I knew that already.
Well my temp shot up to 99.3 today only because I was literally awake all night so we'll see what tomorrow brings. Trying not to spend any more money on progesterone tests, they are pricey. 40 dollars and it's not like cheap opks..lol....as far as opks maybe these ones are super sensitive or my body is wack! (Well it is!)
Here is today's opk...so strange. But whatever it's my last one, not buying anymore.

Well I was wondering just how likely conception would be if I ovulated today with 0-3. We tried to be last night but it didn't happen. We have a super busy day and night with kids sports so it may or may not happen tonight....my body is really playing with me again this cycle. The not knowing of these surges are real or not is really frustrating. I really have to just leave it in God's hands truly. Let go of control. But why is that so hard!!!!
My temps keep going up a tiny but each day so nothing concrete there either.

Yeah they should never have done bloodwork that day. Blood tests are notoriously unreliable at that part of the cycle.
Perimenopause can last for a really long time and people can still get pregnant in that time. The best thing to do is just keep having unprotected sex.
It's hard to let go of control because we think that we can somehow make it happen, or improve our chances drastically by having sex at the right time or whatever. But at the same time, like they say, a watched pot never boils and while "stress" is often used by doctors too freely as an excuse for everything I really do find that the people who are monitoring their cycles the closest tend to suffer the most from delayed ovulation because it just adds this low level constant anxiety that our bodies can detect. So I do think that stopping testing may be the best thing, as strange as it sounds, and as hard as it is to give up control when we're used to having it!
