PCOS, getting my period, Ovulation???

IBefore surgery I never got my period.  Since surgery last April I have been getting every month.  cycles range from 31-41 days.  I asked my OB how I could tell if I was ovulation and he recomended an OPK.  When I used these years ago while I was on Clomid with my first preganacy they never worked.  i would consistently get false positives and it was incredibly frustrating.  OB sau=ys that it is different this time because i am actually getting a period.  Anyone have experiene with using OPKs?  How many of you do not ovulate regularly even though you have a regular cycle.  Any advice would be appreciated.

I'm on my 4th month of taking Provera to start a cycle, then Clomid to ovulate, and I've not ovulated once yet...wish I could be more help!  All my best to you in your efforts!

I went through the same thisng when I got preganat with my twins.  I had to do injectables to ovulate.  Are you using metformin with the clomid?  If not I would suggest you talk to you doctor about it.  You probably shouldn't do many more cycles of clomid before you try something else.

Before surgery- I think I have had 15-20 periods my entire life. Most brought on by provera. 3 of my 4 children are from fertility treatments including IUI, clomid, and many herbs and natural methods.  Long story short, I did not ovulate on my own. Only when on metformin and clomid. So after surgery, I was surprised when I got a period within 5 days after surgery. Well about 3 weeks later I noticed some "signs" of ovulation, I went and got an opk and to my surprise, instantly positive. Well 3 months later- I have a cycle every 30-34 days and every month have had a pos opk. If you don't have it I would recommend the book, taking charge of your fertility. It is so valuable to see all the signs that show ovulation is on its way. This month I was actually able to predict ovulation to a 6 hr time frame. And low and behold, I had my  2 + opk the day before and late morning, then 10 hrs later had a neg opk. The following days temps and body signs indicate that I was right on. Now the true test will be in about 2 yrs when we try to get pregnant again. Then I will let you know that I was infact (hopefully) right. Best wishes!
