I am now taking 2000 mg of Met and stopped taking Spiro a while back. After taking the new dosage of Met for a week and a half, I got AF on my own for the first time in almost a year! I was never so happy to have a heavy period in all my life! I am now CD7 and wondering if it might be worth it to use an OPK to see if I might ovulate. I know women with PCOS can get false LH surges, but since mine is now under control I wonder if I might get real results? I wanted to try Clomid but my endo feels strongly that the Met will help me ovulate.

I TXLisa!!! I live in Fort Worth too

I can't tell you about the OPK, they have been garbage for me, but why don't you check your cervical mucous, and possibly your BBT? Between the 3 techniques, i think you would be rather certain if you ovulated this cycle. Congrats on your AF, I am on CD18 and I can't wait to get a AF on my own!

IF you are going to use the opk you should go ahead and use one the next day or two. If they are - then they probably work for you. If you get a + they probably dont. Because I think it is too soon for O.

Some people like me get all caught up in using them and stressing over them. But since I cant temp and it did work for me the last cycle that is what I used. I would stress more over temping if I could though.

Congrats and good luck.

i would definitely use a opk and see what it reads. Like the pp said if its neg at first then you can be more sure of getting an accurate reading as you approach O.

I have been on Met for a like a month and a half. I ovulated (positive OPK) and actually got a BFP last week! I hadn't even got a natural AF from Met since my induced on late april.

Good Luck to you!

I recently started met. My doc said that if it was giving me AF regularly, that chances are I would probably be ovulating regularly. (no AF for me yet, but fingers crossed) If I were you, I would take the OPK.

I am on CD 10 and will start using OPK today...I am on Met XR 2000 and have been regular since January...my period was the opposite of you all...It comes on its own and wouldn;t stop...Started met lost 22lbs and my cycle since January was 30 days...now it is 28... I hope OPK works, I also temp but on Cycle day 4 I got sick and couldn't temp again until CD 9

OPKs are rubbish for me. I ALWAYS get a positive. So, I started charting not only my cervical mucus..but more importantly (since i BARELY get any EWCM) my cervical position and "texture". I was 99% sure I Oed from my cervix but still hadn't gotten AF on my own with my weight loss and met and was getting REALLY discouraged. Woke up this morning and i was spotting!! my first non-induced AF in YEARS!! i'm so stoked. I wish you luck! Getting you AF on your own is a VERY good step in the right direction, IMO.

Curly Chica--congrats on you BFP~
