Family Planning Plus

If you have unprotected intercourse, there is the risk of pregnancy, even if you have polycystic ovarian syndrome. Many women with PCOS ovulate irregularly, therefore it is difficult to determine fertility. PCOS usually causes irregular periods characterized by  long menstrual cycles. Women may have 40 or more days between periods. They make go months without have any bleeding at all.

Repeat the pregnancy test in two weeks. If it is still negative, and you have not had any unprotected sex within that time period, then you most likely are not pregnant.

If you are not planning a pregnancy, it is important to correctly and consistently use a reliable method of birth control.  Consider scheduling an exam with a doctor to evaluate your irregular periods and/or begin a long term method of birth control (pills, shot, etc.).
