Hi,
Thanks for your question.
All the usual signs & symptoms of pregnancy are pretty non-specific & you need to have a lab evidence to confirm pregnancy.
PCOS patients may have late periods & this is not an indicator of pregnancy in them.
If you want to be 100% sure go for a blood pregnancy test. If this is negative you can't be pregnant.
Best of luck.
