Opk & pcos

[Sugarpop]

So I have never ever got a + OPK. I am currently using the clear blue digital ones and all my results are O. When I look at the lines there is no progression in the darkness at all

Obviously this has led me to do some research and I've found on other forums that women with PCOS don't always have success with OPKs at all. Apparently, some women will never show ovulation on them because of their hormones even if they do ovulate.

My doctor is convinced I am ovulating because my period is somewhat regular for PCOS. Do I carry on with the opks or just sack them off when I've used them up?

I'd temp instead hun. You can still have pcos with regular periods despite what doctors say, as I do xx

No I never did. Not until recently. I have tried temping but the results are all over the show.

Yayyyyy!!! Even though I've got pcos, for some reason the opks do work.

I've tried everything too. It's so frustrating. Xx

Second day of flashing smiley & I have felt twinges today. So hopeful. Will confirm ov with a blood test hopefully. I'm hopeful and that's dangerous isn't it ha

Another high today but I have a lot of CM so hoping it will be tomorrow or Monday! Even if I don't get a solid smiley atleast I can tell my doctor I'm categorically not ovulating. Definitely ov'd last cycle I would say after my FRER lines!
