Question
"I suffer from polycistic ovarian syndrome. My period used to arrive about every
3 months. When i discovered i had this syndrome, i was put on birth control.
After about 5 months of being on the pill, i had to get off it because i seem to
be allergic to it. I was getting blood clogs. My period became regular after i
stopped the pill about 4 months ago. My husband and i decided that we wanted to
try to have kids without fertility medications. My last period began on Feb.
11th and i have not gotten it yet. I took a pregnancy test twice, but they both
came out negative. I have been feeling tired and i urinate constantly. Could i
be pregnant? Or could it be just some symptons of my syndrome?"


Answer
Hi again,
As an aside, women with PCOS are at an increased risk for having diabetes, and one of the symptoms of diabetes is frequent urination.  Make sure your doctor has tested you for this!!!

I hope this helps,
