Hello!

I'm new on here so please bear with me. I know how it's not very exciting to read all the same questions from new people! But still wanted to say "hi" and get involved in the forum. I've been on other forums that haven't been to friendly but this one seems the nicest so far from what I've read

We've been TTC for 2 months so it's early days. I was diagnosed with PCO over 4 years ago. For the last couple of years I have been having fairly regular periods in that I have one each month. However my cycle alters every month. Usually it is somewhere between 30 and 35 days (but now and again I'll have a 40+ just to throw me off all together..!)
This is making it hard to know when my most fertile days are.

Also, I don't always have the EWCM I have been reading so much about, so that doesn't help in trying to detect the best time either. I'm pretty certain I didn't have it at all this month. Has anyone else found this....and/or know what it means, if anything...!!!!!!!!?

Any hellos/comments/advice/stories/opinions most welcome!

Thanks xx

unfortunatly im not much help...sorry..

But welcome!!

Hey! Welcome to the boards!! These are by far the friendliest boards I've came across!!! I don't have PCOS, but know a few girls on here do, so they'll be able to help you out there.

As for getting more EWCM, get yourself some Evening Primrose Oil, you'll have way too much in no time!!! It has no side affects and you can get it in most chemists/health food shops. Good luck!!!!

Thank you for the welcomes and the Evening Primrose Oil advice! Will give it a go!

Glad I've found a nice friendly place!!!

Hi from one newbie to another and I just posted on the same issue, although as far as I know I don't have PCOS. It's so difficult when you have irregular cycles. I started taking starflower oil this month, don't know yet if it has worked. I think it takes a few months to get into your system though.

Welcome to bnb! We don't mind newbie questions at all...in fact most of us ask seemingly obvious questions too lol.

My cycles are all over the place too...usually around 29 days, but this month it's gonna be about 36 days, and it's been up to 42 days sheesh! I hardly ever get ewcm so I'm not much help there. Do you temp? It won't tell you when you're going to ov, but at least it'll confirm that you have and maybe show you a pattern in your cycles. Good luck to you hun.

hiya guys, bNb is a brilliant site! i have learned so much being here and just wanna say welcome xxxx

At the risk of sounding dumb....does "temp" literally mean taking my temperature? If so when is the best time etc. etc.

Welcome hun
Yeah like someone said above buy some primrose oil tabs, i started taking them last week, i take about 3 a day. I dont get much EWCM ,well tbh i never really noticed before, cos last month was my first month checking things etc , but i dont think i get much, last cycle i had some on my tissue on one day, day i ov i think, once or twice in that day, not much. so hoping primrose oil will help, give it a go
Gd luck hun xoxox

yeah temp means that, in the morning, before eatin, drinkin and doing anything really. i havent started doing so yet , but i ordered a temp last night from ebay , gd luck anyway hunni xoxox
