I have PCOS, which makes my periods quite irregular. I'm trying to conceive, but with irregular cycles, I'm not sure when is the best time to take a pregnancy test. Any advice for PCOD mummies?
Since PCOS causes irregular cycles, testing too early will just give you a false negative. The most practical way is to test 3 weeks after your last unprotected intercourse, or if you track ovulation, wait 14 days post-ovulation. Use the first morning urine for the most accurate result.
Don't waste kits testing early. If you have PCOS, wait for 14 to 21 days after intercourse for a reliable result. If it's negative but you still don't get your period, just visit your gynac for a blood test.
Hamare irregular periods me date ka kuch pata nahi hota. Simple solution hai ki har mahine dher saare expensive test kits barbad mat karo. Bas 3 weeks wait karo relation ke baad, fir test kar lena subah ke first urine se.
Even I have PCOS and we are planning right now, so I'm always confused! I've read that since our periods are so irregular, testing about 14 to 21 days after unprotected sex is the most reliable. Are you also tracking ovulation using strips?
I know how exhausting the waiting game is, especially with PCOS making everything so unpredictable. It is best to wait for at least 14 days after your estimated ovulation, or about 18-20 days after intercourse. Sending you so much strength and hoping for a positive result for you.
Oh god, I used to buy test kits in bulk and test every other day because my cycles were so random with PCOS! Honestly, it just increases the anxiety so much. Try to wait at least 15-20 days after you suspect you conceived, it saves so much heartbreak.
