PCOS and Pregnancy Tests

Dreaming, congratulations on conceiving!!
Here is my update:
I ended up getting my period on August 3 (62 day cycle, I haven't had that long a cycle in a while and was extremely relieved to be able to start over at day one again).
I took 11 negative HPTs and was feeling quite insane. The nausea I was experiencing (google "phantom pregnancy") was still quite apparent into the 2nd day of my period, I thought: great there is proof i'm not pregnant, yet I'm sick as ever. In the middle of a rough day of work I debated sticking my finger down my throat to make the nausea go away, but instead went outside and had a good, long, extended, dramatic, private, cry. I cried until all the nausea left my body. That was extremely empowering.
Into the 2nd cycle of TTC I am manifesting more patience and hope. I am taking tinctures of the following herbs: dandelion leaf, red raspberry leaf, burdock, motherwort, astragalus. I am recording my temperatures and noticing that my pre-ovulatory temps are pretty high to begin with... So the question of if I ovulate is in my head for sure. I have been doing a guided audio meditation for fertility and PCOS and I recommend it to anyone with PCOS TTC as it at least puts my mind in a positive communication with my body. This cycle I am going to hold out from taking HPT until I feel more ......????.... not sure. But my goal is to not "react" so fast that my mind tricks my body into thinking I'm pregnant and to avoid experiencing that emotional and physical and hormonal roller coaster that the "phantom pregnancy" took me on.

I am still waiting to find out whether or not I am pregnant, I had a test done about two weeks ago and it came up negative, but some of the symptoms I have been getting have continued, and some new ones have occurred. My fiancee is convinced still I am pregnant, but I'm worried tests won't show it and if I start taking my pill again, that it might cause more problems. I'm trying to figure out what to do, by my calculations, I should be almost 4 weeks pregnant if I conceived on this last month as my period was due Aug 5th.

Any advice?

hello fellow cysters on the topic of pcos i would  like to share a  useful tip its hard to do but if ur trying to concieve its gold forget about trying my fiance and i were trying like crazy for 3 years and nothing till i talked to a elderly woman in my dr office while waiting to be  seen  she told me  stop trying why? u may ask it adds stress on both man and woman lowering sperm counts and further messing with hormones and taking the romance and intamacey out of sex  try meditating or yoga destress  cut out soda coffee and smoking if u do these all effect pcos suffers  because caffine  and nicotine lower fertility in average women and are fatal to the fertility of pcos suffers i personallly thought the woman was crazy  but whenthe dr told me it was nevergonna happen i was willing to try about any thing so we did it we put making a baby to the side and focused on   the presentwe found we were happier and our sexlife improved durasticly after about 6 months of not trying i strarted getting nausiated and  because we were nottrying pregnancey didnt even cross my mind i thought i caught a bug soiwent to see my dr tobe safetheydid a blood and urine test both negitive which didnt supprise me iwas sent home with a nausea med 2 weeks later got a bad pain in my left side so figureing it was a inflamed or burst cyst i went to the ER they did a scan and both myself and the dr were supprised to find i was 14 week pregnant  so dont listen toany negitvepp because every woman pregnancey andsituation is unique and  no one  knows ur body better thenu do best of luck and baby dust to all ur jounetis not one  for the weak of heart but ur never alone on ur path and can find compfortin ur fellow cysters

Hello everyone. I was diagnosed with PCOS at 16. As a 16 year old that was something I NEVER wanted to hear. I've always wanted to be a mother. I can tell you that I in fact have had negative HPT's in the past. I am now 25 and have had 2 miscarriages. I was 5 days late this past week, I took 2 tests this weekend and found out that I was in fact pregnant. I am going to the doctor on Wednesday for an ultrasound. All I can say to anyone who has PCOS is have hope and never give up! :-)

Congrats!!! That's very exciting!! Looks like we are both proof that it can happen for us suffering with PCOS! I'm 20 weeks today and couldn't be happier! I found out it's a girl :)

I can say the same.... I am 20 and a lil over weight but have lost about 50 lbs in the last year..until recently I have gained 7 this month alone! All in my lower abdomen. I self diagnosed myself with pcos after my cousin told me she had it.my new gyn confirmed this on Monday but she told me I was pregnant through a piss test. I explained to her wat I have been reading about how the hormone imbalance could affect results and she quickly shot me down saying how it was impossible. I even tried convincing her by telling her my symptoms of frequent urinating headaches and the tightness in my uterus. I cant even wear my fav jeans that use to be too big cuz of the discomfort. I have been having weird cravings I try not to feed into because of the weight gain but then I get a bad stomach ache like I haven't ate in days... and dreams I don't understand. I am a canvasser for the mayor at my job so i get plenty exercise every day. If I am preggo I would be 11 weeks. I caculate by the last time i had unprotected sex. Then i had spotting a few days later but only for one day? Never happened to me b4 mother nature always delivers her present like a fairy god mother...more tha enough...so i figured that to be implantation. I kinda forgot about it untill the symptoms came. But seeing as how I tested negative she gave me a script for BC. She said that I could just be about to start my period since its been so long since I had one..April. my periods have been irregular since I was 13 and I can never recall having these feeling without the heavy bleeding to go with it. I don't kno wat to do. I don't wanna take the pills and it harms my baby if I am preggo. I am taking prenatals. But all this talk of miscarriage has me nervous since I haven't been taking the other pills they want you to...can some enlighten me more on the BC tip??

I'm sorry guys I meant to say she told me I wasn't pregnant through a piss test.

Congrats :-) I haven't had a period since August, before that I was coming on regular for about a year off BC pills. I was hoping to be pregnant but never wanted to get my hopes up. I've was diagnosed with PCOS 9 years ago. I've been constipated, waking up with nausea, headaches, really bad mood swings,frequent urges to pee...I just found out a week ago my older sister is finally pregnant :-) it made me want to take a test and I did (negative) I have a doctors appointment tomorrow to find out what's going on....or was I just having her symptoms :-) wish me luck

i have pcos, was dx with it at age 14 when i hadn't gotten my first period. i have a severe case of it... facial hair, dark spots, insulin resistance, etc.my husband and i have been ttc since 2009 with one loss in july of 2011. okay... on Nov 22nd, i had pink discharge... this lasted approximately 36 hours... i have bouts of nausea that comes and goes... i'm EXHAUSTED, i cant wear any of my bras except sports bras cause none of them fit me anymore... i've gained about 5lbs... my lower back is killing me, i am peeing like 3 times an hour... and every once in a while i get a sharp pain (not like a cyst rupture or a cramp) in my uterus. my lower abdomen is hard... i've had more BMs than normal, heart burn, gassy, moody, overly emotional (i cry at everything now), metallic taste in my mouth, producing too much saliva, really increased sense of smell, and my nipples are darker than normal.. I have taken 2 home tests, both negative... but, i FEEL pregnant. If i am, i realy think the pink discharge was implantation bleeding.... i have no insurance so i need to find a free clinic that will do a sonogram ASAP...

for additional i also burp almost every day last 2weeks ago,i felt thrice a weird movement in my belly,it hurts until the movement gone,it was like something inside me , right now i feel like something pinching my belly *sometimes right & sometimes left* my pee automatically flow sometimes , there also a time it get my short&undies wet .. :( my trousers start to be tight , i cant close the button cause i was like hard to breath & it hurts a little .. & i also remember when my 1st & 2nd week i always wanted my dog to be besides me & he was like a real baby for me,when i try to lend my hands he was jumping on me & it feels good , & the week i vomit he also vomit, looking skinny & became sluggish i thought he's ill but my bf thought maybe im conceiving him ?!

Today i went and saw my dr, he told me that the results of the urine test came back negative. He noticed the dark spots under my arm pits, which i told him ive had as long as i can remember but how ive always hated them. He asked a few more questions regarding my cycles, when i was 11 i started my first period and it was horrible, 10 days of HEAVY non stop bleeding. My mom took me to a dr and I had an ultrasound done which showed i had a cyst on my ovary that had popped. However, he never said anything about me possibly have PCOS and that was 10 years ago, im now 21. It wasnt until today my new dr mentioned it. Ive always had fairly normal cycles month to month occassionally a few days late never had i actually missed a full month let alone 4! Back in august is when i turned 21, and being the typical person i am we all went out to the bar and celebrated that day me and my ex had unprotected sex. Sept i didnt have a period and started freaking out took a hpt negative, waited a week still no sign of a period and took another test came back a faint positive, normally i always know a week before hand because of the horrible cramps i get along with it. So i called and scheduled an appt the dr did the blood work and performed an ultrasound through the abdomen and pointed out my gestational sac and told me I was pregnant. 5 days later the office told me i in fact was NOT pregnant. Still I hadnt had any signs of my period so i found a new dr which is who i saw today. Hes not completely ruling a pregnancy out but doesnt think its likely, i still have a majority of the symptoms though, and i feel like a house, ive gained roughly 16 lbs and im hating that aspect. I got a perscription today for birth control but i dont want to take it quite yet until my ultrasound in 2 weeks. I dont really know how to process all this information i just gathered in the last 6 hrs, anybody else have any similar situations???

Actually yes. If you scroll back up and read my response our stories sound pretty simular...

If you dont mind me asking, have you found out yet if you are in fact pregnant or not? If you are congrats, if not im sorry :/...
