Ovulating and PCOS

[laurenmarielucy27]

Hey all!

I’ve got PCOS and have one child but he’s our rainbow baby! Im struggling now as my periods are every 3 months and I’m obviously only ovulating once! I’ve finally come of my period that lasted 2 weeks! Argh! I’ve used ovulation sticks and I’m currently at 0.75 lh surge here’s a picture to show you! The lines are both dark

(Trying to upload a picture)

Is this right in very confused as I’ve not used these with my first born it happened after the d+c when I got pregnant but I’ve been off the pill since January 2021 and trying to conceive!

Help!!!!!

Ovulation kits are no good for PCOS at all. Your body will try multiple times to ovulate before it manages. You'll see these go near positive often. You'll then eventually ovulate and your cycle will end with a period approx 14 days later.

You have several options:
Have sex at least every 2-3 days, this means when you do ovulate you'll cover it, especially have sex whenever you get egg white mucus
Use temping to estimate when ovulation happened. You'll see the same attempts in these charts
Get a prescription for metformin, clomid etc through private fertility services
