I was diagnosed with PCOS in January of this year. doctor

I have a 10 year-old-son who was conceived 5 months after I got married, so I know I CAN have children! sunny Since he was born, I hadn’t had regular cycles, even skipping months at a time w/o being preggy. Question

nurse After being diagnosed, my OB/GYN gave me a prescription for progesterone to get my cycle started, and Metaformin to treat the PCOS. Since February, I have had a regular cycle about 29 days long, starting on the 25th-26th of each month like clockwork… that is until July. So now I’m two months late, and have a long list of symptoms indicating possible pregnancy: frequent urination, exhaustion, headaches, backaches, an achy full feeling in my pelvis, darkening and growth of the areolas (complete with Montgomery glands!) nausea, glance sensitivity to smells, food aversions of food I normally love Mad (chocolate, Mexican food, and eggs, for example), and cravings for milk and cereal. (Which I normally like, but don’t love!). Oh, and I also had what I think was implantation bleeding 2 weeks after my last period. I thought it was my period that started early, but it stopped mid morning! Question

Shocked I have read on different feeds that women who suffer from PCOS often times get false readings on home pregnancy tests. I’m hoping that is true, since I’ve taken 4 different tests weekly since the middle of July and all have been negative. I do have an appt. with my OB/GYN next Tuesday, but I just wanted to see if there could be a quicker answer whilst I wait!

Just an update, had an ultrasound today, and it was negative, so apparently it was all in my head. I'm not giving up hope yet, and I'll keep you guys posted! Ultrasound techie said that she'll give the result to a radiologist, who will send the measurements of my uterus to my doc, and maybe maybe maybe the uterine wall has a thickening which might be pregnancy but not as early as I thought. Still keeping my fingers crossed, and if I'm not now, I know I will be... someday and hopefully soon!
