Hi, Pallavi.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) can cause irregular menstrual cycles. If you have PCOS and experience irregular periods, it can sometimes be challenging to determine the cause of a missed period. Several factors could be responsible:

  1. PCOS: Women with PCOS frequently have irregular periods because they can have disrupted ovulation cycles. However, just because you have PCOS doesn't mean you can't get pregnant. Many women with PCOS can and do conceive.

  2. Pregnancy: If you've been sexually active and have missed a period, pregnancy is always a possibility, even if you have PCOS.

  3. Other Factors: Stress, significant weight changes, medications, excessive exercise, and other conditions might also influence menstrual regularity.

To determine the cause of your missed period:

  1. Take a Pregnancy Test: Over-the-counter pregnancy tests are widely available and can be used to check for pregnancy. For the most accurate result, it's typically recommended to wait until at least the day of your expected period to test. If the test is negative and you still don't get your period after a week, you might consider taking another test or consulting a doctor.

  2. Consult a Healthcare Provider: If you're concerned about your missed period or believe you might be pregnant, it's essential to speak with a healthcare provider. They can provide guidance, conduct tests, and offer treatment or advice tailored to your situation.

  3. Track Your Cycles: Keeping a log of your menstrual cycles can help you and your healthcare provider understand patterns and irregularities.
