Pcos and pregnancy tests

Hi, first post...
I've PCOS but very thankfully conceived naturally and have a one year old boy.
We've started trying again and over the last few wks I've had loads of my early pregnancy symptoms (nausea, lightheadedness, metallic taste, vivid dreams...) although all a bit early given I think I would've ovulated/conceived about 10th June. Obviously given my PCOS I mightn't concieved at all and my cycle is 35-40 days or more so hard to track. However having had at least a fortnight of symptoms still all negative preg tests, even more sensitive ones and by my calculations(based on recent periods) I would be 17 days post ovulation though maybe more or less.
I don't understand where my symptoms are coming from if not preg as I've never had them any other time but also given half a dozen negative tests now don't think I'm preg!
I know the advice is to wait until period due which must be around now but still negative.
Also scientifically surely if implantation occurs at a set time, hcg levels would pick up around the same time, even if period cycle longer?
Any advice would be brilliant, thanks!

With PCSO you can ovulate well off! But don't stress I fount out only on the 23rd June that I'm 11 nearly 12 weeks!! Even through I've been testing for months! But with my daughter it showed positive at 5 weeks! So you could be pregnant and have a low HCG level like myself! Sending baby dust your way Hun! Xxxx

That's amazing, 11 weeks! You must've been thinking you were going crazy or maybe were lucky not to have too many symptoms...
I was super sick starting from 5 wks with my first but positive test at 4 wks, weirdly wouldn't even be 4 wks this time but feel a lot of symptoms earlier...hard to understand of hcg not detected but I know other hormones at play. Time will tell! Thanks a lot.
