Brief Answer:
Wait for 2 more days before doing urine pregnancy test

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Withdrawal bleeding usually occurs within 7-10 days of stopping the meprate tablet. I would suggest you to wait for 2 more days for the periods to occur. If they still don't come, then get a urine pregnancy test done to confirm the diagnosis.
Hope you found the answer helpful. Please do get back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.

Is it possible to have a late ovulation ? Because on day 17th my follicle growth was only 8mm ! I have been diagnosed with pcos hence was on ocp for 3 years now I stopped it in May following which I got my periods on 2nd XXXXXXX .

What chances do I hold to be pregnant with this cycle ? Considering I took fsh shots from day 7th till day 12th

Brief Answer:
Late ovulation a possibility

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX thanks for responding. Yes, it can be late ovulation, which is common in polycystic ovarian syndrome, and since you took FSH injections, ovulation is a possibility.

Hi Dr,

I still haven't got my periods and i feel very uncomfortable sleeping at night as my stomach discomfort has increased .

I feel bloated and I do get spasms once in a while . My breasts are tender but no morning sickness .

I will wait till 13th and then take a UPT .

I am not sure if these are symptoms of early pregnancy.

Thanks,

XXXX

Hi XXXXXXX thanks for responding. Bloating, pain and cramps in lower abdomen and breast engorgement and tenderness are signs of early pregnancy as well as they are present in premenstrual period.
Please do tell me your last menstrual period so that I can suggest you whether you should get your urine pregnancy test now or later.
