PCOS AND POSITIVE PREGNANCY TEST ADVICE NEEDED

Hi all

Bit of background I was diagnosed with pros after I had my son five years ago. Since then my periods are very irregular some months will go without any periods and than other months I will start more than once.
2 years ago my partner and I decided to start trying for baby no 2. We have both lost weight as I was advised it would help regulate periods and ovulation but even than I was still irregular. Its been and exhausting year the constant heartbreak of negative tests. In May I really thought it was the month I would get my bfp but no and on 13th May had last period. In between that time a lot of family stuff had come up a lot of grieving. So me and partner decided to just not actively try until I was mentally feeling bit stronger. My 5 year old has health and special needs too. From May till 1st of September I didn't test to be honest we didn't even dtd as regularly as we normally would.

Over last 4 weeks was feeling really under the weather lost taste being sick in morning was so tired my mum was like to take a pregnancy test which I did and to my surprise was positive. I Was in total shock I was finally pregnant. I did so many tests they all said positive. But I spoke to my gp who said it was difficult to date me due to my last period being in May. She didn't seem very helpful in regards to the other medications didn't really offer clarification if I should continue to take. So the call ended with her saying she will refer to midwives who would be in touch for when I'm about 8-10 weeks.

I then started having quite severe lower left sided pains so my husband arranged a private scan for me. We went on Sunday and they couldn't see anything at all so they have take a blood sample and will go back for another one 48 hours later.

I just can't stop feeling heartbroken. I feel the pregnancy symptoms have taken over totally now not sure if it's a mental thing but I feel pregnant but also heartbroken. I guess I just wanted to hear if anyone else been in similar situation or pregnant with pcos?

Thank you for reading this far.

Fantastic! Must be quite early, next time you’ll probably be around 7 weeks?

Congrats xx

I have PCOS and I also have endometriosis.
When I found out I was pregnant last July I suffered with awful abdominal pains, constant sharp pains, particularly on the left hand side.
I eventually had to go to A&E as the pain was so severe and I was convinced I was miscarrying or ectopic but I had a scan and I was 6 weeks. Literally looked like a little circle. They said the pain was likely scar tissue or cysts flaring up due to being pregnant. I have a perfectly healthy 8 month old baby now, no complications during pregnancy but I did experience quite a bit of pain throughout.
I hope everything goes well for you, just wanted to share my experience in hopes it would help ease your mind a bit. Good luck

Thank you for sharing it really helps to hear others experiences. I am trying to stay positive. But can't help but feel anxious.

Congratulations and best of luck, OP! Regarding your nausea and vomiting, please ask about medication to help if you're struggling. There's lots of safe medications that can be prescribed. Also see pregnancysicknesssupport.com. Sometimes GPs are out of date in their training but there's really no reason for women to suffer these days.

@Alfxn

Thank you for this I really didn't know about medication for sickness in pregnancy. I will definitely ask about it everytime I have mentioned it they keep saying try to eat small amounts often but the only thing I'm managing today is small sips of flavoured water. I will try to speak to gp tomorrow. It's so hard with 5 year old ds to look after.
