OPK test strip question
I have PCOS and my cycles are never ever everrrrrrrrrrr even remotely regular. I got my first AF 6 weeks PP. Now i'm almost 14 weeks post partum and nothing. I started testing with those OPK test strip things (cause they are super cheap) but does anyone know if they really work as well as either the digital ones or at least a FRER type OPK. (most expensive ones)
I've been testing for ovulation from CD14 and still NOTHING. Just the faintest of lines. Now i'm on CD 34 and not even a trace of anything. I thought I was Oing a few times due to CM and cramping on my right side but of course, no high reading at all.
I want to keep track of my cycles so in the FAR future, I can figure out when the best times are to TTC. PLus I'd like to completely avoid DH during O times too right now lol If this keeps up, I guess i'm back on my way to the RE!
So what i'm trying to ask is if those cheapie OPK's work just like the expensive ones or am I wasting my time and possibly even missed my O??

Nope DD is FF. I was hoping I'd be somewhat regular with my cycles after giving birth, but apparently that's not happening.
My cycles before DD were anywhere from 42days to 100+ days
When iwas younger I only got about 3-4 AFs a year

Re: OPK test strip question
yes, they usually work for me - but if you're not having luck, i'd try the digital CBE ones before going to your dr. The CBE ones are better IMO
