hi everyone hope you can all give me some advice,
me and my fiance have been trying to conceive for 15 months.
my average cycle is 44 days... i know pretty long ... i went to my doctor 3 months ago and explained we had been TTC baby number 1 for a year with no luck. the doctor sent me for blood tests which showed i had high male testosterone hormone levels and as a result was diagnosed with PCOS (poly cystic ovarian syndrome) the doctor explained that it makes TTC a very long and exhausting journey but it is not impossible so have to persevere and sooner or later i will get my BFP. he recommended i change my diet and try and keep my weight down, so in the last 3 months i have lost 1 stone and now weigh 12st and 5lbs.
anyway this month i was ovulating on CD31 and a few days later i went to the bathroom and noticed a SPOT of blood on the tissue paper, i assumed it was my period but after that day the bleeding stopped (i didnt need to use a sanitary towel or tampon, spotting was only visable when wiping)
since then i have experienced fatigue where once or twice a week i sleep from 5pm through to 6:20am the next morning, i sometimes feel tired during the day but its more like my eyes are just heavy and i dont have the energy to move. i have noticed my breasts are rounder. they are not any bigger or sorer ... just rounder. my acne has gotten really bad and i was bloated for 9 days from CD40 - CD49. i have had a niggling pain in my lower abdomen sometimes i dont even know its there until it stops, this is different from my cramps as they are unbarable and reduce me to tears 9/10 times. i have also had a lot more discharge the past week.
as mentioned above my AVERAGE cycle is 44 days but they can be rather irregular (another PCOS symptom) so far they have went :
45 days ( 26 nov 2013)
43 days (10 jan 2014)
52 days (22 feb 2014)
37 days (15 april 2014)
44 days (22 may 2014)
i am now 12 days late on my average 44 day cycle but if you take my longest cycle and compare it to my cycle just now i am 5 days late as today is CD57
i took a pregnancy test at 2 days late (CD47) and got a BFN
i took another PT at 5 days late (CD49) and got another BFN
today is CD57 and i am 12 days late
me and my fiance are going to take another PT tomorrow and see what result we get if it is a BFN we will call doctor and arrange for blood tests
as i have high testosterone hormone levels, could this mean it takes longer for the HCG pregnancy hormone to be detected in my urine? could i still actually be pregnant? and if im not why is my period so late ?
i guess these could all be answered tomorrow but i just wanted some advice from you ladies and gentlemen to give me some peace of mind and perhaps make this a little less confusing .... thanks XX
