What was your symptoms of pcos? I’m sure I do have it I’ve thought I have since I was younger but never tested for it (will be soon) I’ve always suffered with the worst periods

I just peaked on CD 25. My last cycle was 39 days long. There's so much waiting and I feel like it takes so long to get to my fertile window. Anybody else in the same boat?

I'm 7 or 8 DPO so I know it's still early- just couldn't help myself. I feel like I can MAYBE see something but maybe I'm imagining it! Of course I'll keep testing. I'm 3 or 4 days away from when AF is expected! Help!
