I have PCOS but the fertility specialist says everything looks good to ttc naturally for now. I have been using OPK's even though I just found out they may not work for someone with PCOS.
However, people with PCOS say they get false positives because of naturally higher hormone levels. I started OPK's about 20 days ago, 15 days after a period I received after taking progesterone. I had no 2nd line at all for the first 10 days, then a faint line for 7 days. This morning I got my first almost positive. It's the darkest I've gotten it's just not quite as dark but it is REALLY close. I will test for the next couple of days every 4 hours in hopes of the line getting a little darker.
Since I have a gradual fade in, does that mean the OPK could be accurate for me even though I have PCOS? Could it really be a positive?
Any advice you could give me would be great!
