Erm..

So ive only just started using clear blue ovulation stick digital 1

In the small print it says might not work 4 pcos..

I currently have presumed pcos

Some stuff coralates - some kinda doesnt

Anyway - im here jaw dropped..

Day 23 ish..

Just got a flashing smiley on clear blue ovulation test

My partner and i had unprotected sex twice last week in what according to flo app was latter part of fertile window - however id been using cheap ovulation tests & one had yet to go positive etc

In small print it says clear blue may not work for pcos..

Obv flo app prediction is different to this...

Dunno what to think

Always extra horny b4 period but yeah ..

Does anyone ovulate day 23 ish ?

Anyone got pcos and uses clear blue ovulation test successfully ?!

If you're yet to have success with ttc, I would keep using the digital stick as it could well be that because of a pcos hormone imbalance, the app is off. I think your testing of your personal circumstances is more likely to be correct compared to a generalised assumption by an app. Time to get busy!

(I used the sticks and have mild pcos, nearly always got to a static smiley)

@worldwidetravel2017 I gave the clearblue a go for one cycle but the switched to the easy @ home strips. I have pcos and find I prefer testing abouy twice a day and seeing what the levels actually are. Why not try both for one cycle?

Is it common for people with pcos to have v low progesterone
Or just me ?

Pretty worried now

Say clear blue was right & i did ovulate soon - can progesterone rise fast ?!

Surely i shouldn't embrace my supposed high fertility with currently very low progesterone ?! - off to eat a banana and satsumas - apparently they help progesterone
