From everything I read, it seems one of the major problems with PCOS is women do not ovulate regular.
I am just trying to figure out if something else can cause elevated test. levels because that was the only thing on my blood work not normal. I have been charting for 11 cycles and I usually ovulate day 16 (I have not had an annovulatory cycle yet) and usually have a 32 day cycle. This is based on my temp and external cervical fluid.
I am seeing a naturalist before I get on Clomid or anything else but I was just wondering if you can ovulate without problems and still have PCOS. |

I think I answered my own question when take a poll below.
idiopathic hirsutism -- ovulatory, increased androgens, no insulin resistance | |

I ovulate on my own, but my cycle is abaout 45 - 48 days and usually about day 31 to 32 is when I O. This has been my regular cycle for at least 1 year.

Yeah for having a regular cycle!!!! Unfortunately, I know women who do have regular cycles and are still PCOS... ;-( This whole diagnosis is confusing if you ask me! Too many categories to fall under in order to be dx... Anyways, I too ovulate on my own, a majority of the time. But I honestly believe that my annovulatory cycles I have had are major time stress related!

I *think* I do. It's a toss up. I'm going to pay more attention to my cycle this time around.

I ovulate on my own but I have a 30-40 day cycle and don't ovulate until cd21ish. At my cd4 ultrasound I had around 12 10mm folicles and 3 5mm folicles on each ovary... plus a few other sizes I just can't remember them now. So eventhough I ovulate its not a good ovulation.... I barely get a sustained temp rise without medicine.

Hello All,
What would you guys recommend in order to tell if you ovulate? Does the temp/charting method work?
Thanks | |

I wish I ovulated on my own, but sadly I do not. Hopefully the doctor can fix that though!

Yes, I also agree BBT charting and watching your cervical fluid helps in identifying if you ovulate or not. Not only do you see the temp rise as you go but also when you look back at your charts which should also include symptoms, you will see a pattern. For example if my legs begin to cramp alot and I see a slight rise in temp, then I know I have ovulated. Good luck! | |
