My doctor tells me that if I ovulate which he thinks that I do on
occasion since I have a regular period that my ovulation isn't regular.
In other words, I have Luteal phase defect - ovulating really late and
low progesterone. But yet I still ovulate - so you can certainly
ovulate with PCOS and metformin is suppose to help you become more
regular.
My doctor did tell me though that ovulation tests were not true
indicators of ovulation - that the BBT was more acurate. Because the
ovulation test can tell if your body is about to ovulate but doesn't
actually know if you released an egg. But don't lose hope that you did
ovulate - I believe my body signs more than I believe the tests most of
the time.
