HCG pcos: Hog is hormone  during pregnancy and stimulates ovary to maintain luteal function generally once pregnant in underlying pcos your pregnancy should proceed normally check with ob.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Yes late ov but pg!: The charts detailing your gestational age include 2 weeks prior to your ovulation.  The charts are set as if everyone ovulated on day 14.  If you set your ovulation day as day 14 your corrected LMP would be 10/6/13.  The HCG levels on 11/4 and 11/6 are appropriate with this date.  On 11/19 you will be 6 weeks 2 days which is the earliest to do a viability scan. Congratulations!

Question 4

taking clomid (clomiphene) for pcos. will i need an hcg shot as well? in what cases would this happen?

Accepted Answer

Pcos: First check to see if your ovulating while taking clomid (clomiphene).. If your ovulating there is no need for other meds

Question 5

i have pcos and had an hcg trigger 18 days ago, and am 16 dpo with many pregnancy symptoms, but negative home tests. could i still be pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Possible: The home pregnancy test are not always accurate. You could be pregnant with a very low level of HCG (hormone of pregnancy) and this will not be detected by a home pregnancy test. You can ask your obgyn or fertility specialist to order a blood work for HCG level as well as progesterone, this will tell you more precisely if you are pregnant and/or whether you truly ovulated.

Question 6

can pcos mess with pregnancy result? example, pregnant but negative result because hcg takes longer to build up? or never enough hcg? or other reason?

Accepted Answer

No: PCOS can certainly impact ones ability to get pregnant. POCS inhibits ovulation. If pregnant though it will not impact the BHCG levels or the accuracy of a pregnancy test.

Question 7

21 yo f. history pcos. trying to get pregnant w husb.for 13mos. always regularcycle. week late but home test says neg. could i have low hcg. how to be sure?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Some home pregnancy tests can be positive as soon as 5 days, however, it may take longer. I recommend repeating test in one week. If still negative, then you are not pregnant, but can keep trying.

Question 8

my beta hcg levels have not increased in 48 hrs. i took a clearblue digital test today and it read the same as 23/12/18 i.e 2-3 weeks. i have pcos. is there any possibility that i could still be pregnant and that the pregnancy could return to normal?

Accepted Answer

Blood test: You need to take a blood test for HCG and and repeat that after 2-3 days.

Question 9

i have pcos last period over 6mos took a blood hcg test 22 days after sex how accurate?

Accepted Answer

Accurate: If you have not had a period for 6 months and you have pcos, then the problem is that you are not ovulating.  A test at 22 days after intercourse should accurately reflect if you are pregnant or not.  If the test is negative, then talk with your doctor about ways to induce ovulation as well as metformin.

Question 10

in pcos pregnancy is it necessary to have ultrasound at 5 weeks pregnancy? i got blood hcg of 577.3, i am worried of complications.

Accepted Answer

Too early.: Ultrasound will often not be able to see a pregnancy at 5 weeks. Assuming no worrisome symptoms or signs, you should wait until a routine dating ultrasound at 8 to 12 weeks.  Congratulations on your pregnancy.
