My first cycle with clomid i used opk's too, but mine was positive every day and i never ovulated. some women with pcos have naturally high lh levels, my doc recommends the digital cbe it's ok to use with pcos and clomid.

My first cycle with Clomid, I used an OPK, but negative everyday, but good thing my doctor had me scheduled for bloodwork to see if I ovulated or will be ovulating soon. the bloodwork showed I was ovulating that day.

I am going to still do the OPK test again this cycle, but will be using the digital one with the smiley faces.

Thats a iffy subject. My doctor told me that having pcos and using OPK will not work because our bodies differ from those who do not have pcos. There have been some ladies on here who have pcos, and use the opk and never get a +. I personaly don't like the opk because sometimes they just don't work. You could do some research on this topic if you need some more info. Maybe some other ladies have another view on this.
