Brief Answer:
pregnancy test after a werk
Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
I understand your anxiety related to the issue.
There is no need to do pregnancy test again and again.
Just relax and wait for your periods which will most likely come in a week from now as it is just due to PCOD most probably.
But in case you still don't get them then repeat the test after a week and if that test is also negative then you will need to go to the GP for prescription for progesterone which will be needed for withdrawal of periods.
This deranged period pattern is all because of PCOD and in case it recurrs in subsequent cycles then you might need additional medicine on daily basis viz metformin to help in conception.
Right now just wait for your periods for a week.
All the best.
In case you have any questions about it, I will be glad to answer.
Regards
Dr Manisha

Ive already had the results from the gyno he said the polycystic is not bad and all my periods are regular they said i will have no problems getting preg
Brief Answer:
Simple precautions advised
Detailed Answer:
That is indeed a good thing and I hope that you get pregnant soon and deliver a healthy baby.
But still get your thyroid hormone levels and prolactin levels checked once so that in case there is a problem it can be tackled at an early stage.
Also try some lifestyle modifications like -
- start exercise like brisk walking or gyming if possible
- drink a lot of water
- take good amount of fruits and salads
- take walnuts and soya proteins daily
- avoid any kind of stress whether domestic or professional at all times.
Wish you all the best
