Hi!
Theoretically you should O on or around day 14 of your cycle. Ovulation prediction kits may not me so useful for you because they pick up high levels of LH which indicates ovulation in normal women. However, LH levels are often high all the time in PCOS patients and so you may get a false positive reading. i would rely more on temperature and cervical mucus methods as these tend to be more accurate. Good luck to you!
