Missed Period After Trigger Shot & PCOS: What to Expect


Question
I have been diagnosed with PCOS. I had a die test given on April 7th, 2009. I started my period on May 30, 2009. I had my first round of Clomid on days 5-9 of my cycle and a trigger shot on May 12, 2009. Of course my period is not regular due to the PCOS but today is day 29 which is the "normal" cycle. I did not start my peiod and I had a negative pregnancy test. Is it still likely that I could be pregnant?

Answer
Dear Brandy

Although a delay in period is taken, in normal conditions, as early sign of pregnancy, it is not so with an irregular period. However pregnancy is still a possibility and a transvaginal ultrasound may be necessary to make a diagnosis. It is important to be aware that a pregnancy test is not reliable except after a period of 10-14 days of your missed period.

PCO is one condition with excellent prognosis and response rate to treatment is extremely high. Be patient and follow your doctor's instruction and you'll have your baby in the foreseen future.

I wish you best of luck.
