I have been recently diagnosed with Polycystic ovaries. We have been trying for a baby but my periods are slightly irregular. My doctor had asked me to monitor my ovulation from 14th day using the ovulation kit..i didn that from the 14th day to 25th day to be on the safe side...but no results....Can anyone please advise till when should one continue doing the ovulation test?

you can keep going until you get your period but also bear in mind that with PCOS you may not ovulate every month.
I have severe PCOS and was getting my period every 65-77 days. and definitely not ovulating most months.
I have started on a strict low carb diet, increased exercise and Metformin. I have been on it for 2 months now and this month ovulated on day 20.
using ovulation predicator kits is very expensive. I have given up on them but when i noticed egg white cervical mucus I used one and it was positive. to save $$ try and use other methods for identifying ovulation as well.

Thanks Aussie Mum.
I got my HCG test for fallopian tubes done 3 months back and my periods have been regular since 2 cycles.Have heard that helps 'clear up' the system. This may sound stupid...but if i m getting my periods which means i m definitely ovulating right? This cycle too i tried with the ovulation kit but so far no luck..i also go by the cervical discharge and tested but no luck....had spoken to my doc..said may be the LH surge isn't high to be detected...i m so confused!!

Maybe you could make more tests, blood tests, at day 2, day 14, day 21... which are supposed to be important days in a regular cycle, as well as a scan, which could read how many follicles you have and their maturity. This would tell you more about your hormone levels than a "may be" from the doctor.
good luck !
good luck !

did you get pregnant?
I have PCO amd have been on hormmone drugs to stimulate ovulation but they have been giving me ovearian cysts - very painful and worst around ovulation so it is painful to have sex - crazy!!!!!
Did the low carb and exercise work?
Anyone else got any ideas or suggestions?

I may have PCOS (some doctors say yes, some doctors say no)... anyway, the truth is that I don't seem to ovulate on my own.
I got pregnant in 3 occasions under Clomiphene. 1st time ended in miscarriage, 2nd time in PMP, and this 3rd time (under Clomiphene 150mg) baby finally seems to be fine. I am currently 30 weeks pregnant.
I didn't have much symptoms when I took Clomid the 1st 2 times. However, this last time, I was feeling pretty bad and dizzy after taking it. It also gave me some bad cramps that I thought was AF related.... Lucky that I got pregnant on the 2nd cycle under that medication.

I had PCOS two of the Gynae I visited told me ovulation kits won't work unless I use for 20 days in a month due to irregular ovulation. Got pregnant with Metformin for my 1st for 2nd naturally. For 1st ovulation kits did show time of ovualtion maybe because my cycle got regular with Metformin but for 2nd it did not show I ovulated even though I got pregnant the very same month.
