Trying to conceive on 21 day cycle?

I have PCOS myself. My cycles do not vary in length more than 2 days ( I have a 31-33 day cycle). I think you just have to use the Fertility Monitor and keep track on a calendar. Because of the risk of high LH levels in women with PCOS, you would want to use a stick every single day from day one of your cycle until about day 15. I don't know what else you can do aside from consulting an RE for further advice, if the Metformin/Clomid combo doesn't work after 6 cycles. Good luck and I hope you get pregnant! ( Also, go to fertilichat.com, inciid.org, fertilityfriend.com, fertilethoughts.com for more resources. You will find a lot of people in your situation).

It will come down to if you ovulate, when you ovulate and how long the luteal phase is. If you ovulate too early the eggs may not be mature and if you ovulate around 2 weeks into your cycle then a 7 day luteal phase will not be long enough for implantation to occur before your body sheds the endometrial lining by having your period. Don't worry - the fertility specialists will be able to do some tests, better analyze what is happening and come up with a treatment plan. Best wishes!

Your cycle is divided into 2 phases -- the follicular phase (from the start of your period through ovulation) and the luteal phase (from ovulation through the start of your next period). Typically any variation occurs in the follicular phase, and the luteal phases is consistent from woman to woman and month to month. The typical luteal phase averages about 14 days, but varies from 12-16 days. Unless you have been diagnosed with a luteal phase defect, you are likely ovulating around 14 days before your cycle, even if your cycle is only 21 days. Good luck!
