How likely is it PCOS?

Question

PCOS?" /> ***EDIT*** OMG! When I post from my phone I have no proper punctuation on my posts. So sorry!***    😩.   I'm done with my work today and wanted some opinions/experiences. I WILL see a doctor if we keep getting BFNs (been four months TTC now). I really just want to see what you ladies think first. Just now learning of all these things.

I'm 30. I'm 30lbs overweight. I have 29 day cycles, never more, never less. AF is always exactly 4 days long. I am fair with pale hair, but I get a handful of dark hairs on the corner of my chin I have to pull. Taking my bbt is useless since it is rocky-mountain like. My OPKs come back darker than the control line late afternoon on CD15 every month.

What do you think? Can anyone school me on PCOS or what else I need to look out for before I go in to get checked out?

Thank you for sharing your thoughts :)

Answer

I would say that as you are very regular and you definitely ovulate then it is unlikely you have pcos. Even if you do, then you are showing no symptoms so it shouldn't affect you conceiving. (apart from a few hairs which I think most people get?) 
4 months isn't too long. Keep trying 😊 My hubby has done an at home sperm test that we got from pharmacy. Worth ruling that out too?

You're welcome dear!

Answer

It's possible, but my main symptom is irregular periods. There are a number of reasons your temps could be off. I will say that OPKs are not always useful if you do have PCOS. To me, it sounds like you have little to worry about, but it can never hurt to get checked out.

Answer

Again thank you ladies for giving me some information. I'm pretty ignorant about this stuff so hearing from you guys really helps. I'll go in and get checked after all. Better safe than sorry, and if I know sooner rather than later I won't waste time doing things that won't work. ❤️ thank you all

Answer

I was tracking bbt using opk (getting highs and peaks) and cycle was 30-32 days every time. I tried and tracked for 6 months then af didn't come so I of course went to my dr. Got blood work done and bfn so dr ordered progesterone to start my af. Then cd 21 went in to get some tests to determine if I was ovulating and turns out that I wasn't ( even tho the OPK were reAding high and peak) so I'm now diagnosed with PCOS and on my 3rd round of clomid with metfirmin. Hopefully this is not the case for you but it doesn't hurt to get checked out. Baby Dust
