Pregnant???
I have PCOS, but for the past year I have been getting my periods on their own as scheduled without using Provera. I am currently 11 days late, and my symptoms are: extreme fatigue and lack of motivation causing depression, increased anxiety, and frequent bouts of diarrhea. Is there a chance I am pregnant? My husband and I have been trying for 9 months now.

Hello,
There are several reasons why a woman have delayed menstruation and this could be due to unhealthy diet, stress (emotional or physical), sudden weight gain or loss, caffeine, alcohol, and smoking. Gynecological conditions like polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and uterine cysts or polyps, can also bring about alteration in menstrual cycle. However, pregnancy is still the most common cause of delayed or missed period.
So if there is a history of any unprotected intercourse then pregnancy should be ruled out.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
