After my period in September we tired to get pregnant for the first time since I have been diagnosed. This past week I have been incredibly tired and feeling nausea. I am supposed to get my period in the next few days but it is hard to tell cuz of the PCOS. I took 2 test and both were negative :( On the other hand I cheated a lot this past week with on my diet no exsercise and lots of carbs. Could the sick feeling be my PCOS. And if I don't get my period how do I know cuz with PCOS period is suppose to be irregular. Can it be to early to take the test? I am so confused cuz I don't know if I am or not and I don't want to go to the gym and do my heavy exercising if I am.

Take the test on the day your period is supposed to start, if it is negative, most likely you are not preggo. If you don't start your period with in the next week I would call your doctor. He can get you some meds that will help you start your period!

I totally understand what you are going through. I have gone through it on more than one occasion. Unfortunatley pregnant symptoms are an affect of PCOS. Especially around the time that your period is supposed to be here. I agree with Chelle05, take the test the day or the day after your period is supposed to come. Definetly go to your doctor to get on some meds to help you start your period. That takes the confusion and worrying out of the whole situation. Good Luck

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
