I think I'm loosing it

I'm not sure what to think of things anymore...

I've been using the OPK's since Sunday (cd 12) and have not had a positive yet. I'm so worried that I do really have PCOS now, and I'm not just borderline anymore.

I think that if I do, it would put me over the edge.

I want to call the doctor so badly and tell her that I need to start Clomid now. She needs to do something, NOW...but I feel like a crazy person.

It's true that it could just be a cycle that I don't ovulate. Or it's true that I'm not ovulating...or just later than normal since my cycle seems to be ranging from 32-40 days now. So that would mean that theoretically, it could be cd 16-20 that I do ovulate. In which case, I'm on cd 16 today. So it could be anytime in the next few days. My last cycle was 38 days. So that would be cd 19 that I would, theoretically, ovulate.

Does anyone know anything about this? I'm just at a loss, and I'm starting to get discouraged already. I'm getting down on myself, and there isn't anything that I can do but wait.

Call your doctor. She has to do what you want and need. Or just give it more time and see what happens.

Hey Becky, I know it's easier said than done, but I wouldn't freak out just yet. If you are having 40 day cycles, you could be ovulating as late as CD 30 and still it would be okay. If you weren't ovulating at all, you probably wouldn't be menstruating at all or your cycles would be REALLY long (like 3 or more months apart). Just FYI, I conceived P on a month where I ovulated 50+ days into my cycle, and with this one even though I was on Clomid, I didn't ovulate until the 20th day of my cycle. So ovulating late does not neccessarily prevent you from getting pregnant, and as long as your LP is good that's probably the most important thing. Remember - you've gotten pregnant twice before with great ease, and even if things shifted around a little bit, and even if you do end up deciding to go on Clomid, you will get pregnant again. If I'm obnoxiously optimistic just go ahead and smack me LOL. But I truly believe that, I'm not just saying all of this to try to make you feel better. If you want to talk anymore about long cycles or Clomid or anything, just drop me an e-mail. I hope you get a +OPK very soon so you don't even have to worry about it.

I think you are to soon in the game for clomid. I think give it a little more time. You could still Ovulate this month. It isn't over until you bleed. Also stress can cause ovulation to happen later. I also think you should give it 3 months and then if nothing go back to the dr. I am sure you are fine. I also believe that you are going to get pregnant again. p.s. did Lexi have her baby?

I suffer from the same problem. I recently left Kaiser and changed over to Blue Cross and I love my new OB?GYN who happens to also be a fertility specialist. I only have a cycle 5 times a year if that. While at Kaiser I was tested for PCOS but they siad everything was within range (I say within their range) You almost have to be in a severe case of everything before they actually help you. Anyway, I was told that women with PCOS mave no problem conceiving with persistance and if needed fertility med. You will be fine. Keep trying. I wont give up AND i WONT LET YOU
