What Does Scanty Flow During Periods With Cramps In One With PCOS Mean ?

Last week I had pain in my ovaries and what I thought was menstration three times but it was very light and gone by lunch. Friday had a strange tugging sensation in my lower abdomen , like two quick tugs. Over the weekend I have had on and off cramps as if I was starting my period. Now I get slight pains in both breasts and my lower abdomen is tender. I took a HPT the week before last because my cycle is late (after I had two normal cycles in Jan and Feb.- I have PCOS and have been on metformin 500 mg twice daily since Dec} Do I need to retest or am I just having wishful thinking again? Or should I say how long should I wait until I do a retest.

Hi, I think you need to do both trans-vaginal ultrasound scan & serum BhCG ( blood pregnancy test) to get your answers accurately. Although women with PCOS have irregular periods & prolonged cycles but your history is quite different and your previous two cycles were on time. I am concerned that you may have an abnormally situated pregnancy that is causing all that pain. So, please rule it out by doing the above mentioned tests. If any time your pain is sever or you feel weak you should rush to the hospital. If these tests are negative for pregnancy these may still give you a diagnostic clue. After that your gynecologist may guide you further. Best of luck.
