Any cervical mucus to speak of Typer? Might be another indicator things are going in the right direction. It's a pain alright but maybe test the next few days in the hope you catch the surge. Aside from that I suppose all you can do is cover as many bases as you can in the bedroom
Blousey - you're very welcome! Fellow pcos re here and I also have an under active thyroid:) sounds like we are similar, I wouldn't have the typical symptoms, one of my hormones is a bit elevated and I've had cysts in the past. These have come and go. I had a bit of a head start in that I was diagnosed at 17 so plenty of time to get my head around things before ttc and it enabled me to be proactive. I have one daughter, she's two, it took us about a year to conceive and I was on Metformin for about six months before I got pregnant. We are trying to conceive again so I went back on Metformin in January. I ovulate too which my endocrinologist says is a really great sign so take that as a massive positive too in your case can be the main problem for some with pcos. Diet is major for me, not necessarily for weight but sugar seems to play havoc with my hormones. Hopefully the Metformin works it's magic for you 0 -

Hi Dreamstar, day 10 of high fertility now
I have 3 sticks left so will test the next three mornings and then give up. My pre pregnancy cycle was 32 days so even if I've returned to that I should be seeing peak fertility by now. We've been consistent with the sex every two days regardless. To be honest it's becoming a bit of a chore! :-) I reckon we won't want to go near each other for the next two weeks
How are you getting on?0 -

Oh Digs that's so reassuring!!! I've been trying to stay away from sugar as much as I can since taking the metformin. I do need to lose a few pounds anyway as I'd be in the overweight category. I just need to get my head around it! Hopefully we will get our BFP before the end of the year. Getting so fed up with seeing 'not pregnant' !!!!
I hope you get a positive result soon!!!0 -

So I was just in touch with my GP and she seems to think the spotting is nothing to worry about. She said that occassionally with fluctuations in hormones that spotting can occur at ovulation. So she just said keep track of my cycle and unless I feel unwell there's no need to go in to her. Phew!
So I'm on my fourth day of high fertility today.I usually only get two so I'm hoping I don't end up like you Typer with 9 high fertility days!!! :eek:
The spotting has completely stopped also.I'm on CD18 - Got my peak on CD19 last month so hopefully I'll get it tomorrow. 0 -

No way Dreamstar I've looked back at my 'notes' and the three months I've used the tests I had 4,5 and 9 flashy smiley days whatever that's about! It's very frustrating isn't it? I was really glad I stuck with it this month because there's no way we would've still been having sex the day I ovulated. We were sick of it by that stage! 0

Yeah I can see how you's get sick of it alright! Started getting the high fertility smileys on my second stick so at least I still have a few left. Don't want to have to buy any more! This is also my third time using these OPK's and the first two months I had two flashy smiley days so just presumed this would be the same. Although there must be something funny going on as I had the spotting too.
Anyways we'll see what happend tomorrow. Maybe it's a good sign for us both and we're SUPER fertile! Heehee!

Not sure what's going on. :mad:
Keep on trucking Dreamstar. If you get peak fertility on day 10 we'll be twins! we did it every second day and then on peak fertility day and then ignored each other for a few days :D 0 -
