April 27, 2020 at 7:02 amHi I need help with reading my graph and ovulation time. I have PCOS with very irregular cycle (range from 38-158 days), so the fitst time i tried using ovacue was last month (15 april) and i’ve been taking profera to bleed (bcs i need to check on my fallopian tubes and to take clomid to ovulate) so the graph doesnt have my actual full cycle. Anyway, on my current cycle, the CD 10 & 11 the ovacue monitor showing light blue, and today CD 12 its suddenly shows pink. I’m so confused, is it confirm that CD 12 is my ovulation day?

April 27, 2020 at 11:15 amHi. If you have irregular cycles, you don't want to rely on the color coding at all. You will want to just look at the raw values and trends you are seeing.

The general trends you are looking for is first a 'cue peak' in your oral readings, this is one high reading followed by two lower readings. This indicates your body is possibly selecting a follice and you may ovulate sometime in the next 5-7 days. Once you detect your 'cue peak' you want to shift your focus to your vaginal readings, seeing them decline and then rise. We would consider the decline/rise an ovulation trend. With PCOS, it is likely you will see more flucutations in your readings than you would otherwise. Each time you see your vaginal readings decline, you want to consider yourself fertile and plan intercourse accordingly. After you have a vaginal reading trend with a decline/rise, you want to see your readings stay elevated above your lowest vaginal low. Again, if you readings start to decline, consider yourself fertile until you see them rise again.

I am a little confused about when you started medication, was your last period on CD 1 of Cycle #1 or CD 1 of Cycle #2? When did you start taking these medications?

Let me know if you have any questions.

April 28, 2020 at 1:45 amHi Andrea, thank you for giving me some explanation abt the charting for PCOS.
So is that means if i had the cue peak from my oral reading and my vaginal reading decline is that means the right ‘time’ to intercouse?
I started taking medication (clomid) from CD3 for 5 days straight.

Hope this helps!

May 1, 2020 at 8:10 amHi, no wories at all, happy to take a look!

You have a second ovulation trend on CD 14/15. Your vaginal readings declined again, on CD 13 and CD 14, and on CD 14 they dipped lower than on CD 11. When you see your vaginal readings dip lower than your previous lowest vaginal readings, we recommend you consider yourself fertile and plan intercourse accordingly.

At this point, you want to see your vaginal readings stay elevated above CD 14.

Let me know if you have any questions about this!

June 1, 2020 at 10:08 amCD 10/11, CD 12/13 or CD 14/15 look like possible ovulation days. Are you taking your readings at the same time everyday?

At this point, you want to see your readings stay above CD 14. If they start to decline again, consider yourself fertile and plan intercourse for the days your vaginal readings are declining.

June 1, 2020 at 8:15 pmYes i take them at the same time every night.
Does it really matter if i take the reading an hour or half and hour late?

June 2, 2020 at 8:51 amYour body's electrolyte levels change about every two hours through out the day, so to get the most accurate readings to show the most accurate trends, they need to be taken at the same time everyday. You do have about a 2 hour window where you can still take your readings, but we suggest being as close to the same time each day. If you take your readings outside of that two hour window, the readings won't be accurate.

Are you leaving an 8 hour window between when you have intercourse and when you take your readings as well?

Hope this helps.
