Opk help - pcos?

Hi,

I got a peak day on the clear blue ovulation tests on Thursday last week, I've continued to do the one step opks which have never quite seemed positive, I've attached a pic of today's which is the closest to positive as they've been over the past few days. Do you think this is positive?

I'm getting really fed up, have pcos and wondering if this is causing the issue Sad

Pcos renders opks pretty useless. Reason being is they detect a surge in lutenising hormone. But with pcos, lh often becomes elevated even when you don't ovulate.

Have you tried tracking bbt? The drawback is it isn't a prediction about the future, but confirms ov a few days after it happens.

Thanks for your reply.

I have been doing temps so know that I'm ovulating eventually normally that does coincide with a peak reading or high OPK, but on this occasion they don't seem to be corresponding.

I've also used the opk's to get pregnant twice, so they can work for me, it just means I use them more regularly than most to try to catch any opportunity!
