Brief Answer:
Need to do beta hcg in serum

Detailed Answer:
hello dear
welcome to health care magic
I got your information
In your condition the most probable diagnosis might be positive pregnancy test
due to your PCOS condition it's difficult to predict ovulation accurately
the strong point in your history is not using any contraception.
to confirm the diagnosis of pregnancy you can try doing serum beta HCG test in a lab.

you can also repeat home pregnancy test after 7 days in case you don't want to go for serum testing.

in very rare scenario there can be a false positive test in urine due to impurities which interfere with the test.

to rule out all this things you should consider doing serum beta HCG evaluation.

Hope I am able to answer your query
