Need charting help - look at my chart please

[scienceteacher79]

ok - quick background: was on clomid for 4 months, last month was the last time I took it. I have PCOS so I have trouble ovulating. I just started taking temps last month. I can't tell if I ovulated this month. I think it was cd14, but my temps aren't going very high.... Need opinions please. I am still kinda new to this whole chart reading thing.... THANKS

Also, I just started the Clearblue Fertility Monitor this month. Would it read "Peak" because of my PCOS? Or can it be true that I actually ovulated. Going to get B/W done on Friday(CD21) so I will know for sure but I need help from you guys so I don't drive myself insane :) THANKS...

PS: we have been TTC for 2 years now. Just started Metformin this month.

I am glad you guys are seeing it too! I will get bloodwork done this week to confirm O.

Not sure about the clearblue easy monitor but I think you o'ed on CD14 by your temps any way.  Good luck!  My temps this month were low and I know I o'ed.  They went up a little bit but not too much but they have stayed high.

[scienceteacher79]

You know what? i never thought of that!! This is why I post - so everyone's extensive expertise can help me stay sane : ) Gosh, I really hope I O'ed. Then it means, either the Met is working or the Clomid was soooo good that it kicked my cycle into gear. Who knows...Who cares....Any more ideas on my chart?

I would love to hear more opinions to help me determine if they thought I o'ed. Thanks again everyone!!!

Oh, one more thing...if you had two eggs last month, you also had two corpus luteums producing progesterone, so I'm sure that's why your temps were higher last month (progesterone is what makes the temperature go up). So I wouldn't worry about your temps being a bit lower after O this time around, as long as you get a bi-phasic curve.

I think it looks like you ovulated on CD14 (based on temperature spike and peak fertility)! But you probably need to temp for a few more days to get that confirmed :-) Good luck!

[scienceteacher79]

Ok, but if you ignore the monitor.... Does my chart look like I ovulated? I had a lot higher temps last month with the clomid and I know for sure I O'ed last month (had two eggies pop out - Ultrasound)

That is what I meant...time to BD!!

No, when you get the egg symbol you are just about to ovulate, thats the beauty of it, the monitor tells you the peak time. When you get the egg symbol it's 24-36 hrs before you ovulate.

[vidflorida]

My experience with Clear Blue FM is that if you get the little "egg" symbol you ovulated...

[lucyanna118]

I doubt very much that the monitor would read peak if it doesn't. I'm on clomid at the mo, which basically means it probably won't show a peak day, however I have learnt that when I pull the test stick out if it has 2 lines that would have been the peak day, one line is nothing, and I know I'm getting 2 lines at the moment because clomid can affect the results of OPK's before day 10.

somehow i didn't see you have high temperature.  you are under 98.  I am not sure if you are ovulate or not, but look at the chart and statisticly, i think you are ovulated on CD11 instead.  the temp drop .4 from cd10 to cd11.  

My temp was under 98 until CD9 and CD10 it's raise to 98+.  Here is my chart to compare

Hopefully you will conceive this month.

Good luck to you
