Poly Cystic Ovaries. Stopped OCP. Spotting After Intercourse, Missed Periods. Negative Pregnancy Tests. Reason For Not Having Periods?

HI. I have been diagnosed like 3 years ago that I have polycystic ovaries, but not the syndrome and my Dr. prescribed for me OCP for just three months. Now I've been married for a year and I was also using birth control pills so that I dont get pregnant. however, my husband and I decided to have children now, So, I stopped the OCP which I took for a year, and now I missed my first period after stopping the OCP. however, during this month which I was stopped taking OCP , I had spotting directly after intercourse. I did the pregnancy test and it was negative. I'm somehow worried about whether I skipped my period because of my polycystic ovaries or is this normal after stopping OCP.? What shall I do to make sure that im not ovaluting not because of my polycystic ovaries? im really very anxious about having hard time to conceive and worried that I may not be able to have children because of my case.

Hello
Thanks for your query.
Normally, after stopping OCP, you might miss a period or two.
Polycystic ovaries also equally cause such skipped periods.
To know if you are ovulating or not due to Polycystic ovaries, I would advise you to wait for 2 - 3 cycles ( to not let the OCP effect confound you ), and then go for ovulation monitoring by follicular study.
Take care.
