PCOS and LH test help

[Thewhitehorse1]

I’m clutching at straws here. I have pcos and usually get a clear peak on lh tests. Last cycle I ovulated cd18. Cycle before was cd28. I’m now cd29. The picture is of the highest readings I’ve got so far which were at cd17/18. I’ve not ovulated yet have I? I usually also get clear ewcm the few days around ovulation, but it’s been very random & sporadic this cycle so far. Slowly losing my mind

Unfortunately you haven’t ovulated yet. You might in the next few days though! For me if it didn’t happen at a time I expect, it happens next week. It’s like it reattempts it weekly. I have pcos and I also get clear ewcm when I’m ovulating so if you are not seeing the signs then you should trust that. Looks like your body got close on cd17 but not positive

Pcos sister here 👋
Its hard to know hun, do you track BBT? That's a sure reliable way for me to tell if ive ovulated.
Looking at your pictures, its hard to tell . You may have possibly peaked somewhere there between cd 17 and 18 as its going down after that . The peak can sometimes happen quickly between testing and you miss seeing the peak high
Alternatively, you tried to ovulate and failed so your body might try again.
I pay attention to any reading over 0.50.
Although cd 20 did you take that photo immediately? It looked dried down to me

It's possible you ovulated on CD18. My highest was 0.8 last cycle and I did conceive although it was a chemical.

I'd say you peaked on CD 17/18, my tests never even got that dark and I conceived twice. It's about getting darker, not necessarily getting a reading over 1, I never got that.

Thank you all for looking at it. I think deep down I know I’ve not ovulated, as in all my past cycles I get a very obvious peak.
I don’t track bbt as I didn’t want the extra stress, but now wishing I was! Just feeling a bit low as this is the longest cycle I’ve had for a while now and thought they were starting to stabilise
