Bump but not pregnant?

[Lalyg00]

I was sexually active once back in July. It was unprotected sex but my partner did not ejaculate because we stopped. I’ve gotten my period every months since then (my cycle has always been irregular). I did take 10 pregnancy tests and one of those was at a clinic. They were all negative and I took them up until November just to make sure. I’ve had a small bump in my lower abdomen that hasn’t changed in size these last three months. I was diagnosed with PCOS last week but I think my ultrasound would’ve shown a baby. So what is this abdominal bump because I’ve always had a really flat stomach (I still weigh the same). My gyne said bloating has nothing to do with pcos. I’m not sure if she’s right or wrong. What could this be? I think I have gut issues but I haven’t gone to a doctor for that. Could that be the reason why I have a bump or is something making me bloated?

Could it be IBS? Have you tried cutting out bread?

Start looking at your diet. Taking things out or adding more fibre etc.

With all due respect to your gyne, bloating is a known symptom of PCOS - maybe not the most common but not rare either. Loads of literature about it. Also, there’s a link between PCOS and IBS. If you can, I would try to get a second opinion x

Yes, I was reading about pcos and it seemed like bloating is common in most women who have pcos. I also noticed that a lot of them have gut issues as well. I might have to get a second opinion but I’m not sure if I should go to a regular doctor or another gyne. Thank you!
