I should also say that I took the advice and called the doctor yesterday. I went this morning and with all of his pushing an prodding on me with no US he says that he is sure that it is just my hormones. He said that the ovaries are only slightly swollen. He seems to think that this month, I am going to ovulate late. I do not see an RE just yet but my doc was the man for fertility back when. He really has been great but is not up to date on all of the modern technology. Oh yes he knows about it but he is not familiar with using it. I showed him all of my new fang led charts and the pictures of the OPKs. Okay well let me just tell you that first, he was very impressed with all of my knowledge on PCOS and my proactive approach. He was also happy that I had documented so well. He did however tell me that I should not use the OPKs. He says that it is setting me up for failure. It will be nothing but a disappointment. He says that hormones for someone with PCOS are so out there that you may have a month that will read all +++ and then some that will not read at all. Sooooooooo I should have listened to my blogger buddies and just not looked. Lol. I also had some blood work done and was called back very shortly and told that I am all out of whack. I am going in this afternoon for an appointment to go over this. Wish me luck. Lol. I am so miserable right now but I am going to get thru it. Thank you all for your caring and your support. This really has been great.
Okay so after I typed this, I put my temp into the fertility friend. Now keep in mind that I have 2 charts as the doctor prefers one and the other, (FF) I like to tell me when it thinks I ovulated. Well low and behold look at that. by Jollies, I think I Od. I am going to tell the doc about this.

yay for Oing!!! I am glad you aren't using the OPK's anymore, they really are frustrating!
Awesome!!! I was so happy when I seen your chart. (I am a chart stalker, after all.) Crossing my fingers that you caught the eggie.
Ps. Why am I the braver one??
I came over from A Decade of BFNs to comment on your comment and to let you know that you are brave too. You're enduring a long journey through IF... that in itself is brave!!
Go you on the Oing!! I think it's interesting that your RE said not to use OPK. They don't work well for me either - I end up having blood draws to see if I've O'd. Glad the temp charts working.
Thanks for the kind words! I hope you and the others also get good news soon! I'm still keeping fingers crossed, but super excited!!
I'll keep you in my thoughts this week! Hoping for good things for you too!!!
