So, I started charting in April and have had a very hard time because I have no schedule really. Also, I have some bleeding issues at the moment. My AF started on the 20th and I started BCP on that day...now I have had only 3 days with no bleeding...how do I chart that if it is more than spotting? I know darn well I am not having 15 day cycles. My last cycle was 46 days.

My name is Ashley and my SO is Jerrod. We have been together 5 years and have lived together for 2 or 3 years now. We just decided to start TTC in March, but I was diagnosed in April with PCOS and told to go back on the pill. However, I will be discontinuing it. My last active pill will be taken on the 9th!

I am getting ready to go see either a fertility specialist or an endocrinologist for my PCOS since we are now TTC.

Glad to join you ladies here!!

I think PCOS charts are kind of complicated to read anyway. Was the bleeding light spotting or was it like a light period. It is probably break through bleeding from the pill. Just my guess. I would chart it as spotting and just keep watching to see what happens. Your chart will probably be wacky until your body starts regulating itself again.

I think if you have PCOS charting is especially important to help you determine ovulation. I would try to stay on the look out for signs of ovulation like ewcm and ovulation pain.

Welcome to the charting board!

Hi and !!! Glad you decided to join us!

Has your doctor talked about putting you on metformin? Metformin is a common PCOS therapy...just curious! You ought to do some looking around JM--there is a board for PCOS, I believe it's the TTC with PCOS.

Good luck!!!! Hope you stick with us for a little while so we can get to know you!
