PCOS and Pregnancy Tests

Have u been on metformin?

Ur information us very useful to me.may God bless you.thank you

Someone please help! I had 3 back-to-back-to-back pregnancies with my three babies. My youngest turned 4 yesterday. They were all one-try pregnancies. I was just (finally) diagnosed with PCOS two months ago after having suspected I had it for the last year or two (symptoms only started presenting within the last year or two). I also just got on the pill (lo-loestrin) about 2-3 months ago and my cycle has been all weird the last 6 months especially, but it never outright skipped. With all 3 of my pregnancies they showed on HPTs, but the first showed when I was one day late. By the third it didn't show til I was over 10 days late. So now I am sitting here, having had my placebo week two weeks ago, and my cycle never came. I stopped taking the pill 5 days ago just in case I am pregnant, and I still haven't had a cycle. I am having a tremendous amount of pregnancy symptoms which are all very specifically symptomatic of MY pregnancies. Cramping, nausea every night, cigarette smell making me want to vomit, increased sense of smell, etc. There was also two days in a row when I was supposed to start where I had one very tiny faint pink spot when I wiped, the first one having been accompanied by very cloudy and sort of dark discharge. I have, however, had times in the past year or so, where I've had pregnancy symptoms (for me) but either wasn't pregnant, or had chemical pregnancies.

My question is this: What is the likelihood that after always testing positive at home with the previous three, that I would no longer show on tests due to the "newly developed" PCOS?

I took multiple at-home tests and a urine and blood test at PCP and they're all negative.

I am supposed to have surgery to remove pollyps but just scheduled an OB appt for next week to request having an ultrasound to find out once and for all, but what do you think? Can I just all of a sudden stop showing positive now that I've suddenly got PCOS? Could it be the new birth control? I had a cycle during the placebo week after the first month but it was CONSIDERABLY lighter than normal (to the point I'm not sure I'd even need the pollyps removed). Does this make sense? My boyfriend and I are quite anxious not knowing.

Thank you in advance!!!

I have the same problem, it states on the home pregnancy tests that pcos can cause false results. Im showing all the signs and havent had a period for nearly 3 months but home tests are coming negative. Best way to be sure is request blood tests for even a scan...go to your doctor and ask for help. ... Im waiting on my results now...

Cyst on the ovaries are NOT a sure fire sign of PCOS, the only sure way to diagnose is to have your testosterone tested. Women with PCOS always have a slightly heightened testerone level

Hi their im just reading through and your coment has really concerned me i have pcos i found out just over a year ago ive had several miscarriages in the past, me and my boyfriend are trying for a baby, ive got an app on my phone called flo to keep up to date with everything and no when im ovulating, my periods have been all over the place fore years but over the last 3 months they have begun to sort their selves out, i was ovulating on the 19th of march i took an ovulation test it came back with two lines so I definitely new i was ovulating im now 16 days late im getting really mad feelings in the bottom of my belly like cramping the pains barable though im feeling exhausted every day evan when im not doing anythink and i go dizzy occasionally ive read up that some Women have used a ovulation test when testing for pregnancy and its came back with two lines took a pregnancy test Couple of days later and she was pregnant so i tried it the ovulation test came back with teo lines done it again today and got the same two lines but the like was alot more faded than yesterdays one, pregnancy tests have came back negitive really confused and scared to take another pregnancy test do you think i could be having anouther misscarage? Please help...

I want to thank you for thevhope. My daughter has been tryingbtobget pregnet for 2 years. She to has pcos and is on met forman. Shes been doing home pregnetcy tests one after anothet n getting negative results even tho she has many sighns of being pg. So again, thanky you. mary estes

Yes your correct. B'coz my first pregnancy end with miscarriage they don't believe me b'coz my negative blood and urine test..When tests are negative they never try to check u properly on ultrasound. I tried with different doctors also but b'coz of negative test they told me definitely I'm not pregnant. Then they send me for CT scan . when i came back I started to bleed when I call doctor he told me may b it's my period and he told me i'm having pcos and gave some antibiotics. .after few days i passed big muscus Omg it was my baby...almost around 8-9 weeks fetus .. So ladies please if you have PCOS please don't believe always medical test ..sometimes technology can't help you . Believe your body than machines. B'coz machine also human creation only..it can give u false result. If you have PCOS and getting negative result wait for 3-4 months then u will see your baby.. Good luck for all moms ...

Thank you so much for this information I have been worried. I was diagnosed with PCOS five years ago I had three consecutive miscarriages one being a set of twins prior to my diagnosis and struggled since that to conceive recently went from over 300 pounds down to about 280 pounds and I have my last menstrual period on March 13th I've always had regular periods so I really didn't understand the diagnosis of PCOS when I was diagnosed but that's what I was told I had in spite of my regular periods. so I am pretty convinced that I am pregnant I am having all the signs and symptoms breast tenderness I can't even feel a thickness in my abdomen I've done three home pregnancy tests now they all come back negative and I had one quantitative HCG done but I'm going to ask my doctor to know do a qualitative HCG because I also believe that you can have a negative blood test if you have PCOS so thank you so much for your response helped me tremendously

Hi did you have irrigular periods with pcos??? I keep testing negative but think i am definietly pregnant as i can feel it move in my tummy now for couple of weeks just waiying to see doctor to examine me now but as soon as they hear negative hpt they fob you off and go that you are not pregnant etc etc

What was the update to your story? This is very similar to my situation.

PCOS can screw with your period like that. Sometimes mine is MIA for like 6 months then regular for 3. The hormones can make it off track at times. So did you find out if you were pg?

Hi,
This is truly a great blog. I'm 46 years old & was diagnosed with PCOS in my teens. I've always had irregular cycles but for the last year my cycle came like every 3rd week in the month. I haven't had a cycle since April & it was only 3 light days; usually 6 heavy days. Missing a cycle ism new but I've never had pregnant symptoms. I've had 4 negative got & 1 neg blood test. My obgyn informed me that my prolactin level was high and prescribed me medicine. I still feel I'm pregnant because of the symptoms, tender breast, nauseated, discomfort in lower abdominal, and I have wired feelings in my stomach. I've never been pregnant before & don't know if this is just in my head. I didn't won't to take the medicine until I'm 100% sure I'm not pregnant. This was my first time seeing this doctor & don't know how he will feel of I ask for an ultrasound.

Your story will get me through the night tonight.... thank you so much

Well, I got a negative ultrasound. I'm so confused because of these symptoms. I'm going to wait it out.
