Im CONFUSED??!!! and I NEED ADVICE :(

supergirl1022 posted:

Hello, i was told since i have PCOS that its not a good idea for me to use the ovulation kits becuz i dont have regular cycles and it makes it harder to detect. I got off of birth control almost 3 months ago and it was way too early for me to start ovulating becuz i needed time to adjust to not having the hormones in the pill but what i dont understand is why would the ovulation test kit say yes after a week of testing and it being no??? could those tests actually give a false positive??? PLEASE ANY ADVICE WOULD POSSIBLY HELP ME!!!! THANKS

I also have pcos and was trying to do the ovulation predictor test and they would give me false readings all the time i know with having pcos our hormone levels are not right we produce more testosterone then estrogen and its possible that we produce more of the hormone that the opt is detecting because after all that is what it detects is hormones not really ovulation you might want to try tracking ur basal body temp and cervical mucus to track ur ovulation

I know you have been to different ob/gyn's. If you can afford to go (insurance may not cover this kind of appointment), you may want to consider seeing a fertility specialist. Search for centers in your area, and make sure to do research ahead of time to make sure that whoever you visit has a good reputation. Fertility specialists are more likely to have the kind of expertise you need if trying to get pregnant with a medical condition that makes this process difficult. If you continue to not have success ttc naturally, a fertility specialist may be able to give you some other options (IVF, etc.). I hope this helps.
