In November 2024 I started Mounjaro, Metformin and Myo- insotol to help prepare for TTC and regulate my cycles as I have PCOS. Since then until September 2025 for the first time ever I had a regular cycle of 31 days, ovulation I think was day 19 but at that time I wasn’t tracking (I did however most months log EWCM some days)
Unexpectedly in September 2025 I fell pregnant, this however was a chemical pregnancy. I stopped the Mounjaro at this time, and started tracking properly with BBT and OPK’s. I ovulated in October but November and December were anovulatory (never got a positive OPK, just some random EWCM) I restarted the mounjaro in January as I thought the key for me ovulating is mounjaro and low and behold, ovulated 4 days later. In February and March I had 29 day cycles, positive OPK’s and textbook BBT charts.
Last month I had a break from the OPK’s but my chart looks pretty anovulatory, this month I’m back on the OPK’s and I’m cycle day 20 and still no peak, BBT rocky and I’m guessing another anovulatory month.
I did an e-consult to my Gp surgery earlier and got a reply saying they’ll only do blood tests and investigations 12 months after I’ve been trying to conceive.
I’m at a loss of why this is happening, I am on no new supplements (apart from a low amount of B6), no sudden weight change, the only stress was the upset from what should have been my due date.
I’m so at a loss at to why now :(

Temp taking was never reliable for me. My sleep is too disrupted and light to get good readings. I wouldn't assume you haven't ovulated. How old are you?
With the LH testing, are you testing morning and evening? Around ovulation time I tested three times a day as I peak and go back to nothing within a couple of hours. It's very easy to miss.

what time are you taking the ovulation tests? Evening is recommended with LH tests, the opposite of pregnancy tests. When you believe you're around ovulation its best to test 2-3 times a day. With PCOS temping is good for confirming ovulation after the fact but as you have irregular cycles its not the best for cycle tracking.

I’m 30!
last month (my first anovulatory month) I didn’t use OPK’s at all because I wanted a ‘break’ this month, I’ve used them 4, 5 even 6 times a day since CD12 and nothing :(

I’ve been doing OPK’s this month 4,5 even 6 times a day since cycle day 12. Not even more than stark white tests :(
