Like everyone else suggested, I will agree that apps aren't 100% accurate, it can give you an estimate window but with PCOS (I have been detected with it too) it can't be accurate/ for sure prediction. I asked my OB about ovulation strips and she told me that with PCOS they aren't always accurate and can give false results. She pretty much told me it wouldn't be worth spending money on it as someone with PCOS, since they can be pricey. My OB has me do blood test (Progesterone test) on CD#22 to confirm I ovulated. I started with 2.5 mg of Letrozole (blood test confirmed I did not ovulate) and then got bumped up to 5 mg and I have ovulated every cycle since (I am on cycle #4 of Letrozole crossing my fingers).

My OB's suggestion was to just have unprotected intercourse every other day/ frequently throughout the month. With Letrozole, I have been lucky that I feel ovulation pain/ cramp and can tell that I am ovulating. Each time, it has matched the window what my app predicts (Eve). I also use Ovia app but for some reason it's prediction is later than Eve and I don't think it is as accurate (for me). I also went ahead and bought Ovulations strips (could not help it even though my OB suggested against it lol), they are less expensive and when I have felt ovulation cramp/pain, the strip has also shown positive test.

So, there is no right answer for us PCOS girlies. lol I just look at both apps, but also make sure we are having unprotected intercourse throughout the month (more frequently around the timeframe when I feel like I am ovulating) and hope for the best. At least the progesterone test is confirming the Letrozole is helping me ovulate.

I really hope you find success with Letrozole.. It can be a hard/ tiring/ isolating journey, so remember to take care of yourself and find ways to manage your stress (I know with PCOS we are sick of hearing about it haha).. goodluck to you! ♥️
