Hi All,

It seems like we are all having a crap week, if it helps, I believe there is a full moon just around the corner (or just passed, can't remember which?), so maybe that is why everyone is having a hard time!?

Kris - I agree with the others, you ovulate from either ovary, but it's completely random on which side you ovulate from in any one month, so you might ovulate on the right twice and not necessarily right then left and so on, as it's based on the egg, not the ovary. Also if you lose an ovary, you should still ovulate every month as the most dominant egg (which if you only have one ovary will always be on the same side) is the one that is released. It doesn't make any sense what the lady said, how can "it work on one side" but you didn't ovulate? Either you released an egg or you didn't!? Hope that the doc can shed some more light for you? Like Shan said, keep DTD anyway, just in case!

Bec & N2l - I think that we are all in the same boat with the diet! For any of you who also has PCOS, you will know though that anything that tastes good is on the naughty list or at least the avoid list and even if you exist on lettuce somehow you still manage to put on weight (well I do anyway). Also exercise is probably the most important part in managing PCOS, but if you are like me, then being a fatty (I call myself that with affection) makes you want to exercise even less! I just feel so uncomfortable, and everything seems to wobble way more than it should, so I become disheartened very quickly!!

n2l - I feel for you, I am trying not to, but I can't help but hope the first cycle will be my last. So if it doesn't work this month, I am sure that I will be in a very similar headspace!!! At least you ovulated, and that is a great step in the right direction I really hope that you get that BFP very soon!

Shan - How are you feeling? I know you are a day ahead of me, was wondering if you had any cramps or any feelings that you might be going to ovulate soon?

Porsche - Sounds like good symptoms... FX'd for you!!

AFM - It's weird, I don't know what to think. I am on CD10 and while I wouldn't say I still have AF (haven't REALLY had her since end of last week), but this incredibly light, brownish spotting is still happening. It's like at the very end of AF when the blood is older and the last few "dregs" are coming down and only really when I wipe. Anyways, not sure what that is about... As for the ovulating, I am feeling a bit crampy occasionally from the Clomid and still have the hot flushes. Did an OPK and have a faint, but obvious line, so just waiting for the line to get darker now!! Decided that DTD every 36 hours would be the way to go, that way I alternate between morning and night and it's often without being too often, IYKWIM? By the second and third cycles I may not be so enthusiastic...
