Fertility Monitor or Ovulation Strips?
Hi ladies -
Me again. Do all of you mainly use the ovulation strips or does anyone use the fertility monitor?

What's better? I have PCOS if that changes anything and my doctor wants me to monitor everything for next 6 months...
Thank you!!!

Re: Fertility Monitor or Ovulation Strips?
do you have a regular cycle? if you have PCOS none of that is going to work properly. you should see an RE and have them monitor your cycle so you know if/when you are ovulating. with PCOS the hormone levels tend to be inaccurate causing the tests (OPK, CBEFM..it doesnt really matter) to give false results (mostly false positives but sometimes no positives also...)

I have PCOS and I use both the monitor & the digital opk's...for me they work with my hormones...if you have PCOS I would def seek out an RE and dont waste your time with an ob/gyn.

Thanks for this. Definately not a regular cycle in any way. I will look into an RE.
