Lynn,

If she has PCOS she may be ovulating very irregularly and/or infrequently 
(which would explain the lack of cervical fluid and temperature shift). If 
she knows she's ovulating but still isn't seeing a temperature shift, I can 
think of a couple of reasons why. She may not have an accurate enough 
thermometer or she might not be getting a long enough stretch of sleep 
before she takes her temperature upon waking (a distinct possibility if she 
already has at least two children who wake her through the night).

Warmly,
Angela White, LLLL, JD
