I am starting to suspect PCOS as well for myself. My charts this year are all over the place like yours. And I can feel cysts all the time on my right ovary. I thought I was 3dpo but woke up to a dropped temp. I know it’s common to have an estrogen surge and a dip 3-6dpo, so I’ll see if my temp comes back up tomorrow. FF hasn’t even given me crosshairs yet. Hope I O’ed.

Thanks @lissa I am still skeptical that I O’ed as my temp hasn’t gone up super high yet. But staying positive

@momma I hate that our bodies don’t just have some way of tell us exactly what is wrong. Instead we have to chart things and guess until we can actually make a doctor do something. The crazy cycles and temps are definitely frustrating.

AFM: hubby was feeling well enough to start bding again!!! Makes me happy that we only missed a couple days and can continue to bd. I know that FF technically gave me cross hairs for O but I just want to make sure we cover our bases. My cm has been super creamy and sticky. Not egg white at all!! So that makes me think O has already passed. I had a really weird sharp pain right in the center of my lower pelvic area. Normally sharp pains happen on the sides closer to my ovaries, but today is smack dab in the middle!! Luckily my students were already gone because I doubled over for a few seconds and just had to breath through it. Never had that happen before. Who knows what it means and I am just hoping it wasn’t a bad thing. I guess we will see if my temp stays up tomorrow or drops back down. Either way we are just going to keep bding and hope to see a positive soon!!!

Really hoping we see some BFPs soon!

6dpo and had to schedule bloodwork for Thursday which means I will be 9dpo. Couldnt get anything sooner. Who knew a lab could be so busy, I leave Sunday for our road trip to Gettsburg and DC, which means right in the middle of vacation is AF's arrival date. Hoping she doesnt come. I think I may test Friday since we are going to be hanging out with friends and camping. Drinking might be involved. I would be 10dpo then. Yet I know it still could be earlier. Better save then sorry. I might even take my test with me on my vacation just depends havent quite decided yet. Ugh. Temps are fairly high again this cycle.

@bug I swear every time I take a vacation or have something fun planned is when AF is supposed to arrive. Hopefully she stays away for you and you get your BFP!
AFM: my chart is strange this cycle. Don’t know what to think. I swear I O’ed on CD14, because of cm and ovary pain. But my chart doesn’t really reflect that.

Good morning ladies. Pretty sure I’m out again

That’s not looking too promising. So sorry, Kelly. How long have you been TTCing?

@HDkelly so sorry, this TTCing journey is a tough one.

Ladies can I join in? Currently 9DPO, had really thick CM which has now dried up in the last two days which I think is a bad sign! Have practically none now. Since 1DPO I've had such sore nipples and they are now at the point where even my bra is hurting them. Caved and tested at 7dpo and it was negative of course! I don't feel like it's my month but don't know what's doing on with my nipples lol!

@Moon Welcome! Those are really good signs. Do you temp?

@Momma Thank you! No I haven't started to temp yet. This is my second month TTC so relatively new to this, wasn't even aware of temping until this community, I've learnt so much! I feel like the sticky/dry CM is a bad sign but hopefully should know by the weekend. I was using the contraceptive pill for a long time so not sure if the sensitive nipples are normal for me or not post ovulation.
