Have anyone here every use the Ortho Erva Patch? Because I been having period problems and wondering if it is because of it. I haven't had a period since June 2ND and right now I have dizziness and slight cramping. I took a hpt Friday(Aug 4th)and it was negative. I thought my period was coming cuz of the cramps/pain I have in my pelvis area but nothing happens.

What about individuals who are on Metformin? I have PCOS and have been on Metformin for under a month (I haven't been able to adjust to taking the full four pill dose, as of yet). But I take it every day.
For the passed week and a half (or so) I have been feeling "ill"... (which would fall in line with a possible date of conception). I have never been pregnant before (that I know of... after reading through the tons of articles about miscarriages and women with PCOS). But this time round, I feel like I have this constant hangover feeling (that seems to increase over time). Lightheadedness, constant waves of nausea, nipple sensitivity, light headache, bloated and fatigue.
** In addition to these (typical symptoms) I feel like gagging or throwing up (which happens suddenly without warning); though nothing has passed out of my mouth. (So far the gagging behavior started yesterday and today. And also, I get these hot flashes and feel out of breath. Maybe hot flashes aren't the right terms, but there are times, when I feel like I am super hot and start to sweat. Also, all day, I just want to take a nap. Constantly sleepy and yawning.
But here's the thing... my last period (due to PCOS) was in November 2013.
SO... I am kind of out of touch with the whole PMS feelings. Is this PMS or pregnancy? I know all of you are probably going to say "take a test"... but it's only been under a month. I do not have much money, so... is it too soon to take one? Are there any "special tests" designed for women with PCOS? Or is my best bet just to wait to take a blood test (if so, I plan to go next week)
I guess I am wondering... what does Morning Sickness Feel like? I realize it is different for every women, but there has got to be a pretty standard feeling, right?
