Hi there. It looks to me like you probably did ovulate sometime in the past week (my picks ate CD42 or CD45). With only the temps to go off it is hard to pinpoint the actual day. I see from your last cycle your luteal phase is 11 or 12 days long. So another week or so and your period should be due.

It is frustrating having such long cycles ay? I have PCOS and have been charting for almost 2 1/2 years. At least you know whether you have ovulated! Otherwise the false hope with a long cycle would kill me.

Well I just got off birth control so I'm hoping my cycles are just a little wacky while regulating. Have you been pregnant yet with your pcos? I couldn't do this all the time :( so extremely frustrating.... I'm going for 30-35 day cycle next month! ;) Thank you so much. I really appreciate reassurance with charting because I find it confusing. I try to keep track of cm when possible but i just don't think to do it. And I get VERY confused by it lol

Looks like your temps are staying up, so that's good :)

I did get pregnant even with PCOS, but miscarried just over a year ago and haven't got pregnant since :( We are waiting for IVF at the moment.

CM charting confused me for ages too. I gave up for a long while, then I just got into the habit of noting down what I saw on my underwear or toilet paper (rather than bothering to check inside) and after a while (probably a year or so!) I started noticing some consistent patterns. Now I am pretty good at it. In fact it was the cm charting that got me pregnant last year because I ovulated on CD9!!!!! I NEVER ovulate anywhere near that early! If I hadn't noticed the fertile cm we wouldn't have times the sex right at all!!!

I hope your cycles regulate themselves soon! It does make things much easier timing wise!

Ok so I have a question.. Since you have pcos, does that mean you don't ovulate and that's why you have trouble getting pg? I know I have ovulated every cycle so far but just late ovulation this month.

I ovulate every cycle, it is just a bit irregular. Since charting I have ovulated anywhere from CD9 to CD31. I think the main reason we are having trouble getting pregnant is my husband's sperm count. It went from "spectacular" a year and a half ago to really bad recently. I didn't know it could change that much! We are just waiting for IVF/ICSI now.
