PCOS ttc 3 years

I have PCOS and currently at 3 years my periods are all over the place and range from 34-38 days long And I seem to spot all throughout.
This cycle I’m on day 44 and haven’t had any spotting since finishing my period.
I’ve also for the last 5 days had some sort of sickness,stomach ache/cramps that feel somewhat like period pain as well as breast pains now and again like a quick shooting pain.
I’ve taken a pregnancy test today and it’s negative but for the last few days I’ve taken opks as I had a couple left and they seem to be getting darker with each one.
Could I be ovulating this late or maybe is this a early pregnancy and the hpt hasn’t detected it yet.
So confused and tired of waiting.
Anyone had similar experience?

@emcait07 I think as early as 6dpo maybe sooner? Have you taken another OPK, could you maybe go to the docs for a blood test to see if they can pick it up early? I've had another OPK Positive this morning.. have a really bad stitch like feeling under my ribs... I'm trying to hold off testing till Wednesday as I really don't want to be disappointed...

Have you tried Acupuncture for PCOS it made such a huge huge difference for me x

Iv been having periods for the last 8 months very irregular and some lasting the whole month.
I’m not sure if I was even ovulating at the beginning I had lots of blood tests and none ever showed I was so I kind of gave up checking.
Hopefully this is something though I’ve woken up again in the night with insomnia and finding it hard to get back to sleep which is not me at all.
Also last night I had the worst sore throat felt like I had swallowed a razor blade.
I litrally have been having so many symptom that I hear a pregnancy related so I’m keeping fingers crossed.
Does anyone know how early after ovulation you can start experiencing symptoms?

I have pcos and actually had no period for 13 months and then conceived only found out I was pregnant because I would take a test every month since I had no period for so long I would take tests months, so I never had a period but got pregnant, after I had my dd my periods regulated so I'm racking now. It's hard and wait game sucks stay strong and I hope it works out for you. Also there are some ways to track ovulation through Basel body temperature, and changes in discharge and self exam of cervix ..good luck

@emcait07 I tested yesterday and it was negative so will probably test again Tuesday.... will keep checking to see if OPKS are dark... I had symptoms last month before I got a positive the same as you are having.... a stitch was the main one x

@emcait07 the cramping has only started in last couple of days really... I think I'm nearly 14dpo so would of thought I would of had a postive on a HPT, are you going to test again? X

@emcait07 I'm in the same position at the moment, my cycles are irregular and I had a early MC last month, this month I am sure I ovulated about two weeks ago, maybe just under, my OPKS have been getting darker the past few days? To what I'm sure is a postive (pics attached) I have also had a BFN now the last time this happened ( I don't want to get your hopes up) it did end in a BFP. The same goes for me with the period type aches and not so much sore boobs but random shooting pains... keep me posted!! Xx

It’s horrible I’ve been up the last hour feeling so sick and have mild cramping.
I really don’t want to get my hopes up but generally can’t think of anything else it might be.
It’s angling not k owing how many dpo I am or when a period would be expected it’s literally one huge guessing game.
Hope it means something for you both.

PCOS cycle day 49, been ttc 2 and half years. I've had mild cramping (unusual for me normally have extreme cramping). My boobs have gone up a cup size in less than a week. I did a Sainsbury's lh test this week and thought I saw a vvvv faint line but have since read that they give false positives. No idea what's going on. It's so frustrating never knowing what's happening in my cycle xx
