Late period

[Mandy Welch 0]

One of the suckiest things about PCOS? Late periods! I was "due" to get my period on 7/23, and on that day, I spotted. Then nothing. Absolutely nothing. I have all the symptoms of PMS but no bleeding! I am now almost 2 weeks late. I took a pregnancy test over a week ago and it was negative. Should I do another? I just think, after 7 years, what are the chances I get pregnant NOW? I don't want to set my self up for disappointment. Besides, when I DO skip a period, I dread it because I KNOW that when I finally do get it, it is gonna come with a vengeance! Ugh. Anyone else deal with this on a regular basis?

I have good and (possibly) bad news. Bad news first - weight loss and hormone changes can actually increase your chance becoming pregnant. My gyno warned me of this because I'm on the pill and told me that I should use backup because with the weight loss and especially the hormonal changes, it was a higher possibility of becoming prego.

Good news...the weight loss and hormonal changes can throw off your cycle. Mine was a month late and then came 2 weeks early for the next one. It came hard and heavy too but I was expecting it because of the surgery.

So hopefully it's the good news, I've read about a lot of people being thrown off from the surgery and weight loss.

It wouldn't hurt to take another pregnancy test, just to be sure. I have gotten a negative result when I was 2 days late, then retested a week or two later and I WAS in farct pregnant! This happened with two different pregnancies. That being said, many times I have been late thanks only to PCOS, so I compltetely understand not wanting to get your hopes up

Okay, so I took another test, and it was a big fat negative But you know, I am hopeful. By this time next year, I will have (probably) lost all the weight and possibly that will regulate my cycles and I WILL get pregnant!
