Hiya - Don't know if I am allowed to post this topic here too but as you are in the same Country as me, I'd value your opinions too

It's not a ttc related query anyhow, more of a cycle one.

My Consultant told me that I wasn't ovulating and probably never had due to PCOS and my weight issue - I'm about 3 stone overweight. I've never had any blood work, such as a post-ovulatory blood test to confirm or deny this though...He kind of guessed at it.

I stopped taking Met back in Feb 02 due to side-effects and since dh and I have been bd just for fun !

My question is - First month of temping and it looks like I have ovulated! What do you girls think? I am having a progesterone blood test on Friday (7 dpo) to double check but I wanted some unbiased opinions.

Second question - Are my post-ovulatory temps too low? Is there a 'normal' minimum they should be at? My LP tends to be about 10 by my reckoning, I've never temp'd before to know for sure if or when I ovulate.

Any help appreciated

Hi Jubbs
I'm not an expert, but it does look like you have O'd - congratulations! The chart says cd21. Your temps have stayed above the coverline for three days which is important.
I can't understand how your consultant said that if you were having AF. I know you can have AF without O, but surely he should have confirmed it. My gp did the day 21 test on me last year, which then became the "every 5 days" test. I eventually O'd on cd 56!!!
The women in ttc will be able to tell you if they are too low. Mine tend to jump by about 0.3/0.4 but everyone is different.
Good Luck!
Love

YAY!

Thanks girls for your opinions, I'm so chuffed that you both confirmed what I was hoping you would.

My temp jumped to 97.9 today so I'm well chuffed!

Just gotta wait and see if the blood tests show it was ovulation.

Thanks again!
