Polycythemia is a condition in which there is a net increase in the total circulating erythrocyte (red blood cell) mass of the body. Primary polycythemia occurs when excess erythrocytes are produced as a result of a proliferative abnormality of the bone marrow.

Hi Girls! 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!

Hi I'm the QUEEN of BBT. You can start taking your temp in the morn try to be around the same time everyday. you can go a half hr before or after so if your late or early you still can get a good pic of your cycle. After your last dose of clomid start taking your opk cause you don't want to miss a surge. They say most women will ovulate 5-10 days after last dose but I never did. Take the opk in the afternoon never in the morn because LH is high then you can also do it again in the evening. I like the evening around 5 pm. Opk's work I got preg like that and will use them again. I sadly m/c every time. Sometimes women with severe pcos can not use opk's. Mine is not so I don't know what your stats are with that.

Thank you! I had no idea that I should take the OPK in the afternoon!

I am doing OPKs this month too. I used them in May and they work (but I m/c). I am doing mine in the afternoon. I agree that you should take them everyday if you don't know your cycle.

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...
