Conception occurs within day or so of the sex. It takes about 3 weeks for the embryo to make enough HCG for a positive pregnancy test. Blood test may be done a day after a missed period. Home pregnancy tests should be done 4-5 days after the missed period. If the result is negative repeat the test in 4-5 days. Use first morning urine and follow instructions for the test carefully.

If you did have had genito-sexual intercourse with a fertile man, it would be wise to "have a pregnancy test". If your urine or blood pregnancy test is negative, consult a gynecologist (preferably a gyn endocrinologist who has expertise in PCOS) regarding the short and long term management options of your irregular menses as well as your "reproductive-contraceptive plans".
