multiple positive OPKs - TMI warning!
Hey ladies!
This is my first cycle tracking ovulation with OPK strips. I am on CD 18 of a 28-ish day cycle, assuming this cycle is similar to last. I use FMU when testing.
I started using the strips at CD 7 and got my first positive on CD 11. Leading up to CD 11, two lines were present, but tests were negative. The positive on CD 11 was very obvious.
On CD 12-14, there were still 2 lines present, but the tests definitely appeared negative. My CM was pretty fertile looking and the cervix felt fertile as well.
CD 15-18 (today) have been very, very clear positives. The test line is even darker than the control line. My CM is much less than past days, still thin, but cloudier than a couple of days ago and the cervix is hard.
A little bit of background:
I have PCOS. I have had fairly regular cycles for a while although they got kind of weird a couple of months ago, but the past 2 have been normal. I usually use a combination of rhythm, CM, cervical position, and other physical symptoms to figure my fertile times. I haven't been successful at temping because I work very weird hours and my sleep schedule is even weirder.
I also take vitex and SP every day of my cycles usually.
Questions:
Does anyone know if too much LH is present in women with PCOS that could result in multiple positive OPKs?
Or could the vitex and SP be giving false positives because of how these medications can affect hormone levels?
Please share your insight. :owl: ;)
