"It seems that ovulation predictor kits (OPKs) don't work as well in patients with PCOS. That's because it tests for the LH hormone, which goes up just before ovulation. But in patients with PCOS the LH hormone is often elevated even without ovulation. So you can get a false positive OPK for many days even if you don't ovulate."
