Hi, I have PCOS and have only very recently been getting somewhat of a regular cycle (around 42 days, but I did just go 10 years without any cycles 😅). We have been ttc for almost 2 years now but only recently been able to really get to know how things work due to getting an oura ring. 

I have been ovulating around day 30-37, have a short-ish luteal phase (9-12 days) and have bleeding that is light (looks heavy when wiping but barely anything on a pad for around a day and very light the other days) that lasts 2-3 days. I have lost weight with a glp1 which is what has brought my cycle back, so I know it might take a while for things to become ‘normal’. I’m just happy it appears I am ovulating. 

I am however a bit confused this cycle. I haven’t ovulated yet but have been getting some symptoms (light egg white cm on and off, sex drive increased, and today my lower back has started aching). I decided to try take an LH test on Monday night, and it was the darkest I have ever seen, but not a positive. I took another Tuesday (yesterday) morning, which was lighter than Mondays, and another today which is about on par with yesterday’s. Have I missed my peak on Monday? Is this just my PCOS throwing my tests off? I’ve read you can have a peak up to 72 hours before ovulating so I am wondering if I could potentially have had a peak on Sunday/Monday and missed it, and I will ovulate today/tomorrow? Sorry if this is a really obvious question, I’m just trying to hold out hope that my body is going to do what it should. It’s a very frustrating journey. Thanks in advance!
