March 18, 2020 at 8:34 pmI have been struggling to conceive for a little over a year. I was diagnosed with PCOS. I have taken to charting because it’s really my only hope at this point - fertility treatments are unaffordable and are not an option for me. So, I could use a few sets of eyes and as many prayers and positive thoughts as possible.

Baby dust to all!

March 19, 2020 at 9:13 amHi Amanda, welcome!

How long do you find your cycles tend to last? My understanding with PCOS and BBT charting is you could see your temps fluctuate quite a bit from day to day. It looks like you are keeping track of cervical mucus which is great and going to be really helpful. I would recommend considering yourself fertile everytime you see fertile CM. You might also consider using OPKs as well, to get a better idea about the fluctuations you might see in your temps.

Hopefully some women with PCOS who use BBT will be able to offer some tips and suggestions!

March 19, 2020 at 12:15 pmMy cycles can last from anywhere between fifty to one hundred and eighty days, which makes this incredibly stressful. I finally picked up some LH strips from MomMed (I really hope that they work, I have really low hormone levels). Thank you so much!

March 19, 2020 at 1:19 pmYou are very welcome. You might consider some dietary supplements that can help with reproductive wellness for women who have PCOS. We recommend FH PRO for Women (has a full prenatal vitamin in it) or myo-inositol.

Keep me posted!

March 20, 2020 at 6:35 amIs that something that I could find in store, or is that online, only. At this point, I will try anything, including increasing my folate, to have my second miracle.

March 20, 2020 at 7:48 amWe only sell online. I am not aware of fertility supplements being sold in stores. There is Myo-inositol and Folate in FH PRO for Women.

Let me know if you have any questions!

April 6, 2020 at 10:52 amI have recently had a change in my chart and I really don’t know what to make of it. I *think* I ovulated early, this month, but it’s hard to tell. I am using OPKs, which gave me the positive on CD10.
Can someone take a look, please?

April 6, 2020 at 11:00 amHi. It looks like there was a possible ovulation on CD 10. There is a bit of a stair steping pattern to the rise in your temps. However, your temps haven't stayed elevated at a new higher range quit yet.

You are going to see these fluctuations in your temps with PCOS. I would keep taking your temps, your possible ovulation day can change when more temps are added if another possible ovulation trend is found.

If you can, I would also keep using the OPKs to see if they are corresponding with spikes in your temps.

Hope this helps!
