I have PCOS and my periods are delayed many times, so this month I am confused again. I tested negative but still no period and some cramps are there. Can PCOS make the result confusing?
Dear, PCOS makes cycles unpredictable so an early test can miss it. Give it a few days and test again with morning urine, or do a blood test for a clear answer. Try not to panic in between.
With PCOS the main issue is irregular cycles, so you might test too early and get a false negative because you ovulated late. The PCOS itself doesnt change the hcg, but the timing throws you off. I always waited and retested a few days later.
My doctor said PCOS doesnt directly cause a false negative, but since ovulation is unpredictable you may test before there is enough hcg. So you could be pregnant but too early to detect. A blood test clears the confusion better than the strip.
I have PCOS and this confused me a lot, got a negative then turned positive a week later. My cycle was just late so I tested too soon. If you can, wait a bit and try again, or ask your gynac.
Indirectly yes, because you dont know exactly when you ovulated with irregular cycles. Best is to wait, retest after a few days with morning urine, or just get a blood test done. Dont rely on one early negative.
