Hi Girls! I am posting this message in this community as well as the PCOS community. I would like as much as advice as I can get!

I am going to be starting my 3rd Cycle of Clomid today. I will also be doing the BBT and OPK. I was wondering if any of you can give me some pointers on how to do this accurately. I have done both of these before, but never known if I have done it right. As far as the bloodwork goes, I have never ovulated. I am also wondering about how to use the Robitussin. I have seen a few posts of girls that have used that. Any other pointers would be great, too! We are really hoping that this is our month. If nothing happens this month I will be refered to a specialist. Thanks girls!

The only advice I can give you is on BBT. There is a great website called fertilityfriend.com that you can use to chart your temps and they give you SO much information - it takes all the guesswork out of knowing what your temps mean. It also gives you a place to enter other ovulation monitoring you might be doing, plus meds, etc.

I'm sorry I can't answer your question as I never charted my temp or was on clomid but I did want to say good luck to you!

Yes, I use fertility friend and it's great. It's easy to become super-obsessed with BBT... I used the babywishes.org OPKs and then if it looks like a +, I use the digital one to confirm.

I'm on my second round of clomid, and hoping that I O'ed this past weekend... I'm obsessively watching my chart and hoping that my temp will be up again tomorrow...

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
