Day 45 of cycle

[jensy]

Thank you so much for your help! I'm booking an appointment to see a specialist about this in the next week or so and mention exactly that.Ok, so here is my last few months of cycles.
March- haven't had a period
February- got my period on the 18th-22nd
January-got my period on the 13th until the 17th
December-got my period on the 8th-12th

So your cycles are a bit on the long side (longer than 35 days is considered 'too long') so I do truly think you need a little Clomid/Femara, though this current cycle may just be a one off due to you having started swaying. OR your cycles could be more irregular than you realised. I hope you can get an appt soon and that it is productive!

Sometimes with thin PCOS bloodwork can be normal but there are other symptoms like long/irregular cycles, short LP, cysts on ovaries etc. And many OBGYNs won't think to check for PCOS with thin gals. But an RE/FS should, so I'm really glad you'll be seeing a specialist.

[jensy]

Yeah,I will be glad to see them as I honestly think I do have it by the sounds.I started swaying 6 months ago.Started on veg diet and now swooped to PCOS diet plan.

I just got a called from the ovulation specialist and she said that it looks like I will be ovulating as it shows in my blood.We dtd last night so hopefully I do ovulate now and all works out.

Fx for you! BD again 4 days later just in case you O later. It's impossible to predict when you will O in advance; you can have an LH surge and fail to O. All bloodwork/OPKs can tell you is that you MIGHT O soon. Given your cycles as of late, I would cover your bases. You might even consider BDing E4D from now until whenever you get AF or a BFP. That way you for sure won't miss O.

Would that be Thursday of its Monday here in AU or Friday? Do you think it's likely that if I do ovulate my periods might show early rather than 14 days after? That won't leave very much time for implantation of that does happen??

What is your BMI/height and weight?

You can't get a period until you O. You may get some spotting/light bleeding I.e. breakthrough bleeding, but you won't get a proper AF so absolutely no point trying to bring it on. Instead you want to bring on O! Csn you get meds to help with that? Has your dr suggested a plan of action? Are you currently TTC?

I would drop the Vitex completely, in this kind if situation it could be making things worse. Were you tracking your cycles/using OPKs prior to 3 months ago?

yes exactly that's what I meant to say - if it isn't ready to come it won't come, but if it is and is just hanging on for a day or two then the hot bath, spicy food, sex with female O can't hurt anything.

yes please drop vitex

I love these threads where I show up and I don't even have to do anything LOL. (thanks maiden)

Your cycles are fairly regular but yeah I'd still try to parlay that into Clomid. Don't mention the Vitex to them

If you last BdEd on Monday, you would BD again on Thursday. You CAN wait a day longer but I wouldn't at this point.

It doesn't matter how late you O, the time it takes for AF to come after will stay roughly the same. If your LP is usually 14 days it should be 14 days this cycle too.

Those particular strip OPKs are very inaccurate and unreliable; they give tons of false positives. Can you get some ClearBlue Digital OPKs (NOT the Advanced dual hormone ones) or some Ovuplan strips?
