OPKs not accurate, what else?!

Question

Hi, so I was diagnosed with PCOS. I get my period but not on set schedule so it’s difficult for me to know when I’m ovulating. I tried using OPK but I continued to get “high” reading everyday, even when I get my period the next day, so it is clearly not accurate. Anyone else had this? What else can I be doing?

Answer

I have the same problem and my doctor said OPKs are unreliable so to be sure BD every other day starting from day 12 til day 30 (as my cycles vary from 32-45 days)

Answer

Sometimes that can happen in women with PCOS unfortunately! You could continue to try with the OPKs and see if any days are particularly stronger positives than others to indicate a higher surge than normal or you could try also tracking your CM and checking days when it’s like a raw egg white which would be your most fertile. There’s also BBT tracking but I’m still getting the hang of that myself so I wouldn’t be the best to dish out advice on it! But personally I’m going to try using all three if I can to pin point ovulation as precisely as I can. Best of luck!!

Answer

Start charting your basal body temperature (search online for details of how to do this) and have a look at common ovulation symptoms online.

Answer

This is SO me! My RE said that in order to tell if I’m ovulating we’ll have to do ultrasound and take our best guess! Good luck! ❤️
