Honestly, tracking ovulation with PCOS can be tricky and expensive. OPK kits can give false positives with high LH levels. I found basal body temperature (BBT) charting combined with cervical mucus observation to be more cost-effective and surprisingly accurate for me, after a few cycles of practice. Uske saath ek doctor se bhi consult kar lena, woh sahi guidance denge.
For PCOS, diet plays a huge role in regulating cycles, which then helps with tracking ovulation. I'm vegetarian too and focus on low-GI foods, lots of whole grains, and protein. Try to cut down on refined carbs and sugars. When your cycles are a bit more regular, tracking becomes easier, whether it's with apps or other methods.
PCOS makes ovulation tracking really challenging, I understand your frustration. It's a common struggle.
I remember how much anxiety I had trying to track ovulation with PCOS, it felt like my body was just not cooperating. Don't feel discouraged, it's a common issue. The best thing I did was talk to my gynaecologist who helped me understand my cycle better and suggested the right methods for me. Please talk to a doctor, it helps a lot with the mental stress too.
This can be really tough to figure out, but you're asking the right questions. Just try to be patient with your body and keep consulting with your doctor. Hope you get some good advice here.
