Could I be pregnant?

Hi 😊 just looking for some advice really
i have had PCOS since I was a teenager and went years without any periods, and I still grow a beard that if left long enough could rival Santa’s lol! I was medicated and put on metformin a couple of years ago & lost a stone on it. It also brought my periods back every single month but on different days so irregular but they are always always monthly. I’ve been having PMS symptoms for about nearly a week now- very tender breasts, cramping, headaches, & sorry for tmi but a lot of unusual white discharge.
however I am in a very happy relationship with a long term partner and we are both clean and been tested. We have been having unprotected sex every time- we always do. My last period was the 14th last month so it’s due in a few days but my periods dont always come on the same day however they are always always monthly! I did a preg test and there was a very faint yellow line that got darker but I think it may have been an evaporation line. I recently had a gynae appointment and she said im reasonably quite fertile right now and could easily have an accident. I’ve never ever been pregnant (had a suspected miscarriage instantly it DIDNT take) enough to show on a test so i dont really know what to expect or if things would show different if I was pregnant due to my PCOS. There’s no sign of AF at all, just these PMS symptoms but obviously pregnancy and PMS symptoms are the same. Could I be pregnant? And when would be best to take a test?

They were not even remotely the same for me. Not in the slightest, but of course everyone is different. Maybe wait until you are a week overdue and do a test then.

@thatsawhopperthatlemon oh really?! Xx
thats very interesting cos all I see and hear on google and in general is PMS and pregnancy symptoms overlap .. what were your pregnancy signs if you don’t mind sharing? And brilliant advice I will wait a week, it should show by then if I am x

Tiredness mainly, and then about a week later by my stomach muscles turning to jelly, felt like wearing tight jeans with the button done up and the zip undone. But definitely no premenstrual rage or backache. Can't remember too clearly now, it was a long time ago and it overlapped with my wedding!

Might be, might not.

Just take a test next week and you'll know.
