Still Getting Positive OPKs With PCOS But Still Not Pregnant?
Here’s what I’d want to know before you spend another cycle just “trying again.”
A free live training for women with PCOS who are tired of tracking, testing, timing sex and doing everything they were told to do, only to end another month staring at a negative pregnancy test with no real explanation for what happened.
Learn how to understand what your cycle is actually doing without another cabinet full of supplements, assuming IVF is automatically your only next step, or sitting through another conversation where somebody tells you to “just lose weight.”

Your Body Can Look Fertile With PCOS… and Still Leave You With a Whole Lot of Questions
Maybe you got the cervical mucus. Your OPK finally turned positive. A few days later your boobs started hurting, you felt a little cramp, your period was late and suddenly you were thinking, “Okay… maybe this is finally the month.”
Because after everything you have been doing, of course you want those signs to mean something. You have been tracking your period, peeing on sticks, timing sex, taking the supplements, watching every symptom and trying not to lose your mind over every little thing your body does.
And if you have been trying long enough, you already know how quickly one random cramp on Tuesday can turn into a 45-minute Google investigation by Tuesday night.
“Did I actually ovulate? Was that positive OPK real? Why am I spotting already? And if these labs are supposedly normal, why am I still not pregnant?”
This is where PCOS gets tricky. Your body can give you signs that look like fertility without those signs answering the whole question. You can have cervical mucus because estrogen is rising. You can have an LH surge while your body is attempting to ovulate. You can even see another surge later in the same cycle and realize the first “ovulation date” you were using may not have been the whole story.
I don’t want you becoming better at collecting fertility signs. I want you to understand what those signs mean together.
The better question is: Where is my cycle actually getting stuck?
Instead of another fertility checklist, I want to show you how I read the whole cycle.
When I’m trying to understand why pregnancy has not happened yet, I’m looking at three different parts of the fertility cycle: BUILD. SURGE. HOLD.
Is Your Body Actually Getting to Ovulation?
Long cycles, cervical mucus that appears and disappears, late ovulation and more than one apparent fertile window can all tell us something about what your body is doing while it is trying to ovulate. I’ll show you why getting a period every month does not automatically mean you had the ovulation you thought you did.
Did That Positive OPK Actually Become Ovulation?
A dark OPK tells us LH surged, but with PCOS that does not always answer what happened next. If you get multiple positive tests, fertile mucus comes back later or your supposed ovulation date never seems to match the rest of your cycle, I’ll show you why I look beyond the strip before calling the ovulation question settled.
What Happened After Ovulation?
I don’t stop paying attention once an egg appears to have been released. Brown discharge before your period, a short luteal phase or progesterone checked without connecting it to when you actually ovulated can leave a big piece of the story blurry. We’re going to talk about why the days after ovulation matter too.
“Everything Looks Normal” Is Not the Same Thing as Actually Having an Answer
Your period came, so everybody assumes you ovulated.
Your progesterone landed somewhere inside the reference range, so it gets stamped normal.
Your blood sugar did not look alarming enough for anybody to say much about it, so everybody moves on.
And after all of that, somehow the fertility plan is still: “Keep trying.”
Okay…but keep trying what?
Sometimes there is not one giant flashing abnormal result screaming “HERE IS THE PROBLEM.” Sometimes several smaller pieces of the cycle simply are not adding up. That is what I want to teach you how to see.
You have a lot of fertility data and still no clear answer.
You keep getting positive OPKs, but if somebody asked how you know you actually ovulated afterward, you are not completely sure what you would say.
Your periods come, but your cycles are long or unpredictable, or the ovulation date your app gives you never seems to make sense with what your body does next.
You notice brown spotting before your period, a short luteal phase, or labs that keep getting called “normal,” yet pregnancy still is not happening.
You have spent money on supplements, fertility monitors, apps, appointments and special groceries and somehow have more data than ever but still no clear explanation for what is being missed.
IVF has started entering the conversation and part of you keeps thinking, “Wait. Do we even understand what my body has been doing yet?”
I know you’ve already spent enough money on hope. So let me show you some receipts.
I don’t want to fill this page with vague “I felt supported” testimonials. I want you to see the actual messages women have sent me.

I didn’t plan to become “the PCOS girl.” I planned to become a mom.
I spent years working in high-risk women’s health, Labor & Delivery and NICU spaces, but I also know what it feels like to be the woman sitting inside her own body knowing something does not make sense. I lost my first baby at six months pregnant. I was a nurse, I understood the medical language, and I still experienced what it felt like to be told things looked normal while walking away with questions I desperately wished somebody had looked at differently.
That loss changed the way I listen to women. It is why I pay attention when you tell me your cycle does not add up, when the OPK says one thing and the rest of your body says another, or when a lab is technically “normal” but nobody has connected it to what was actually happening in your cycle.
I also had to navigate my own PCOS journey. I lost more than 60 pounds, reversed prediabetes, got my periods back and went on to have two natural pregnancies with PCOS. Today, I help women stop throwing random solutions at their bodies long enough to understand what may actually deserve their attention.
I Don’t Want You Leaving Wondering Which Part Applies to You
During the training, I’m going to show you how I look at a PCOS cycle through BUILD, SURGE and HOLD so you can understand where some of the gaps may be hiding.
Then instead of going home and opening six more Google tabs trying to decide which part sounds most like you, I’ll show you how to use my free Fertility GPS to look at your own cycle patterns, fertility signs and history and start seeing where your biggest unanswered questions may actually be.
Learning that positive OPKs can be misleading is helpful. Realizing your own cycle has been giving you clues that deserve a closer look is where the information starts becoming useful.
If Another Positive OPK Keeps Turning Into Another Negative Pregnancy Test, Come to the Training.
Come spend this hour with me and let me show you how I look at fertility with PCOS differently, what BUILD, SURGE and HOLD actually mean, and how to start making sense of the information your body has already been giving you.
