Brief Answer:
You are not pregnant

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I read your query and I understand your concerns about PCO.

Let me reassure you that you are not pregnant and you don't need any ultrasound scan or blood test.

This irregular periods and bleeding patterns are due to PCO and nothing else.

I don't see any reason to worry about pregnancy.

Let me know if you need any more clarification.

Regards
