Ladies some assistance if you will

I need some advise, my last cycle was 38days and its usually around that. This is our 2nd month TTC.
We went out and bought the clearblue digital ovulation kit.
My question is when would you guys recomend i use it.
Basically in a nut shall have (PCOS)

Clear blue paperwork recomended i tested on day 18
Ivillage advises my ovulation window is from day 16 (today) to day 20 (friday)
this is all based on a 38day cycle, however its not always 38days its now shorter then 32 from what i can gather.
I've also purchased Preseed, on recomendations from you guys, as yet i havent used any........

So peeps if you could kindly give me your opinons on when i should tests and also when i should leep on my OH hee hee

hoping this could be our month for a little one

Hellooo

I don't know much about the O kits, but I have PCOS and although my cycles are all over the place, when I do ovulate it is usually between day13 to day 20... but I can go from a 28 day cycle to a 55 day cycle... so I am sorry I can't help further.

All the best!!

Everything I have read says to start testing on CD 10. But your cycle is longer. So I would start maybe on CD12 and once you get an idea of when you O you will have a better idea when to start testing.

Good Luck

U cud get cheapo ones that u use everyday and use ur special CB ones when u get ewcm or during the most fertile days that cb told u 2 test???
Either that or buy 5 packs of the cb opk- pricey tho (get em off ebay).
Some gals that have vearied cycles take an average and run with that
ie- if they have had 3 cycles- one 43 days one 38 days and another 46 days then they add em all up and divide it by 3, answer= 43???? Then count back 14 days and test around this time???
Hope u work it right hun so u get ur big bfp!!!!!
