Question : I have pcos i was taking treatment for 6 month (clomid. Utrogestan, pregnyl) on my last cycle i had iui wih gonal f shots but there was no success after that i decided to stop the treatment for a month. My period was never on time before i start the treatment but since i started it it became so on time for 6 month. Since i stopped for one month my period is now late for 5 days i got some period cramps 5 days ago but atill no sign of period. Is it normal for a period to be late when i stop treatment Or it just went back to like before I start any treatment ... Also can I get pregnant with pcos and no treatment?

Brief Answer:
You can get pregnant

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns.

Your periods were on-time during treatment because of progesterone hormone you were taking and nothing else.

Let me know if you are overweight. You need to lose weight to get regular periods if overweight.

You can get pregnant though you have PCOS.

please get your husband's semen analysis done.

Let me know if you need anymore help.

Brief Answer:
Delayed periods due to overweight

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

That's exactly what I was saying. Delayed periods are due to overweight problem. Reducing weight will automatically help in regularizing periods as well.

I don't think you are pregnant now. These symptoms of sore breast and crampa are due to progesterone hormone increase due to delayed periods.

Let me know if you need anymore help.

When should i expect my period? ( take in notice for 6 month i always got it in the 1st day of the month?

Brief Answer:
Wait for a week

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

It is difficult to predict exact date of your possible periods.

I suggest you wait for another week before doing pregnancy test.

It is possible for periods to vary once in a while. Meanwhile please try reducing weight.
