Hello Everyone,

We have been TTC for almost 3 years with no luck - I have PCOS and OH has weak swimmers!

We have started using the Clearblue Fertitility Monitor and we are on the 3rd cycle of using it and it says I was at Peak Fertiility on 5th & 6th November - should I have AF 14 days after, is PCOS something that effects this or is it typically around 14days?

Thanks xx

    My understanding is that the phase between ovulation and AF is always right around 14 days. PCOS affects the phase before ovulation.

    My doctor told me that PCOS can affect the accuracy of ovulation tests. So it's possible to get a false positive when you are not really ovulating. Have you tried seeing a reproductive endocrinologist? I have been trying to conceive and recently started seeing a RE. They gave me Clomid to ensure that I ovulate, which they verify with ultrasound/bloodwork. I'm hopeful that I will finally be able to get pregnant now that I know when I am really ovulating!

    When I spoke to my specialist he said if I wanted to use Ovulation Kits then use the Clearblue one as it is most accurate - CM and temp also showed ovulation at the same time as the monitor.

    I have got an appt on 28th Jan where I need to be down to a BMI of 30 so another 2 stone loss, then he will give me Clomid - I am trying so hard to get to that target but it is so hard with Christmas parties & my birthday this weekend! I will do it though!

    I would like to have more tests to check if I am acutally ovulating, my specialist is very adament I get to this lower weight before he sends me for more tests, which is completley fair enough & I understand just makes the process harder I guess!

    Thanks!
