first cycle using opks with pcos, my progression gallery :)

Cd24/cd3

A medium bleed now, with dark small clots in. Quite a dark opk today so not sure where I am with my cycle

Dinky that's so strange! I would just keep testing for sure. You never know.

 

[dinky]

I know! It looks a lot fainter on the picture too than it does in real life. I'll keep testing once a day I think I've ordered some more opks so hopefully they will be here before the ones I have now run out!

I'm not doing anything for the pcos, I've conceived once with clomid then twice naturally and whenever I take things to try and help my cycle I seem to get horrible side effects so I'm not going to mess with my hormones anymore just going to leave it to nature!
Just done a opk and it's dark again! Do I dare believe tomorrow's might be positive again??

I know how that is. But with all the issues PCOS causes down the line it will be worth getting it under control. Doctors treat it like it is no big deal but our hormones govern our bodies.

It maybe helpful to look into natural cures. A couple are progesterone cream, and raw vegan diet. I have had great results with both. Have not been doing either long, but my first month doing both I O'd very, very unexpectedly lol. I hope you don't give up on ridding yourself of PCOS completely.

Hey hun, are you aware that women with PCOS usually have high LH and that is the cause for the dark OPK's even when we are not O'ing? It took me a while to understand that. We could have a dark OPK and it means nothing at all except we have a lot of LH at the moment.

So don't get discouraged. May be time to get the CBD advanced to save yourself this type of stress. Been there! Lol.

Yeah I'm aware but it's never happened before with the opks or the early period! I think it's due to the mc and the chemical I had last cycle

Yea, must be that then. Your body is probably resetting.

Cd 11. Here we go again! I've only got one opk left until my next batch arrive in the post! So going to try and wait a few days before I test again

 

[LoraLoo]

Good luck!

 

[dinky]

Thank you!

 

[dinky]

Cd12. Negative! Wasn't expecting a pos but that was my last opk. The ones I ordered seem to be taking ages to get here!!

 

[dinky]

Cd13. My opks arrived today it's nearly positive!! What do you think?

 

[LoraLoo]

Have you considered trying another brand hun? Those ones look really deceptive as the left edge is really dark but the rest light x

 

[dinky]

I thought I had ordered a different brand to be honest but I didn't. That is the darkest it's been since I started testing though and it looks almost pos in real life. It's just that dark edge that throws me off but it doesn't always happen on them

 

[dinky]

I've uploaded the pic of this opk on countdown to pregnancy and it's had 5 votes so far all saying positive. Would you class this as a positive opk?

 

[dinky]

Just got this one, it's not a very clear pic but my phone wouldn't let me upload the clear one I got, kept saying the file was too big!

 

[LoraLoo]

The last one Looks positive!

 

[dinky]

I'm so so so happy!! I was robbed of my tww last cycle so I hope I do o soon! I'm over the moon to see that pos opk, feel like I've been waiting forever!! Thank you for all your advice

 

[Dtrisha]

Hats so exciting !!! So happy you O'd or are about to I should say lol.

 

[dinky]

Thanks dtrisha no temp rise this morning so will do another opk later today and hope it's still pos!!
