Best Ovulation test

I have used the ovulation tests (cheapies) before many months ago, I was having periods and they did show I was OV.

I have PCOS and my periods returned last year but I was then put on Cerazette but I am now off them, waiting for my first period and keeping everything crossed.

Are these the best form of indication that I am OV or should I maybe try some other methods? Just a bit lost

OPKs and PCOS are uneasy bedfellows; such kits can give rise to give false positive results. These kits measure LH; many PCOSers have a higher than normal level of LH to begin with so the kit can read that level.

If you've already been diagnosed with PCOS it may be that you will need some medical assistance in order to conceive. You should have blood tests done to see what your current hormone levels are like; particularly LH and FSH. A day 2 test can be done in this respect and these levels need to be compared against each other.
