Q: I'm New And Need Some Advice

Hi all, i'm a 25 year old female, who was diagnosed with PCOS about five years ago. My husband and I have been trying to concieve now for just about that amount of time, with no success. My doctors haven't put me on anything and because of that I am in the process of finding another doctor. But, there has been some weird stuff happening lately with me, and well I was wondering if anyone else has experienced these things, and if so, what did you do and what was your outcome.. here is the situation. well with a little more history, sorry if its to long for you... but well i'm trying to be as clear as i can, please bare with me.

Since i was 13 my periods have been very irregular, I had a cyst on my left ovary the size of a quarter, they drained it and never put me on b/c to help keep it from growing back, when i turned 15 my step mother took me to be put on b/c since i was sexually active. I had regular periods from after the cyst was drained. When I was on the b/c i continued to forget to take it, so i opted to go on the depo provera shot, and then thats when all problems started. I was on the shot for a year ( four shots) in that time period i gained alot of weight ( and still haven't been able to take it off ) and my periods stopped, of course i new they would because that was a side effect. I stopped the shots b/c of the weight gain. Only to come to see that my periods stopped all together from that time on, (16 until present age) For awhile my doctors were giving me a hormone pill to take for seven days to induce my period, (sorry i cant remember the name of it right now) and then eventually the pill again. The pill helped regulate me, but when we decided to try to start a family i stopped the pill and then my periods stopped.
A few years w/ no periods and no additional help from my doctor I gave up. Then all of a sudden out of nowhere a period came, for six months straight. The first month i started the pill i called my doctor again ( this time my family doctor ) and explained to him what was going on. He put me back on b/c and everything was good, he told me stay on it for six months and try again.... so i did, That ended four months ago, I took a pregnancy test the month after it stopped and it was negative, no surprise to me.

Then about two weeks ago ( ok here is where it gets to the point sorry again ) I started to feel like i had the flu, I would wake up with nausea, chills, (no vomiting or fever) tired no matter how much i sleep. I have been peeing alot more to. I have been having cramps ( like period cramps) but no period. So i decided it would be worth a shot to do a pregnancy test (even though its been three months from the last test and it was neg.) I went to the store bought the test and did it the next day. As soon as i dropped the urine on the test the positive line came up, only for a split second, as soon as it made it to the controlled line, it was gone. no sign of it what so ever. I have never had that happen and its the same test i have been using for years, and never had problems w/ before. Has that happened to anyone? What should i do? should i retest or take it as a negative?

I have had a continuous headache now for about two days, and i even got really light headed and felt like i was going to pass out, i laid down and fell asleep and woke up feeling fine ( other then being tired again) And i even noticed when i got out of the shower that my face is breaking out on my forehead and under my eyes, thats not normal for me, I have always had clear skin, even in adolescents. Is Acne a sign of pregnancy to?

Sorry it was so long.. thanks in advance for any comments or suggestions thanks Smile
