which ovulation kit is recommended for people with PCOS?

Hi,

I possibly have PCOS and most of the Kits say....might not be accurate for PCOS. I am wondering if there is anything that will work for peoplr with PCOS?

Unfortunately, I don't think any of the kits work for PCOS. I don't ovulate on my own, so I have never had a positive on any test.

I used the Clearblue Fertility Monitor and that seemed to work best for me. My RE suggested using it 3 mos. after starting Metformin. Good Luck!

I'm with Ann. Actually, my ob/gyn told me to give up on them. They won't work well with PCOS but more than that, they are tricked by the meds.

Check out the thread on fertility monitors. I've had the best luck with the CM tracking and daily temping.
