Suggest Treatment For PCOS And Endometriosis?
Question: I have pcos and endometriosis I'm on metformin to regulate my cycle I'm 5 days late I have taken a cheap pregnancy test which is negative could I still be pregnant?
Brief Answer:
Repeat pregnancy test after a week
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear ,
welcome to healthcare magic.
I understand your concern.
In my opinion metformin helps in controlling the PCOD and also helps in ovulation and continuation of pregnancy.So you need to continue the metformin irrespective of result of pregnancy test.
PCOD and endometriosis are one of the causes for infertility.
Coming to pregnancy test you need to repeat the test after a week .
Go for branded kit next time.
If the test is negative even after the week the chance of pregnancy is less and consult your gynecologist for medicines for withdrawal bleeding.
Hope this satisfies your query.
Feel free to discuss further.
