If a mumma could help a girl out, I'd be so greatful🄹

Hey Ladies, so recently I was admitted to hospital with suspected twisted fallopian tubes(luckily it wasn't that) but my CT scan showed loads of cysts on my left ovaries, I've always suspected that I have PCOS i have a lot of symptoms eg- very heavy/irregular periods(sometimes I can go months without a period and others I bleed for anywhere up to 45 days once), Abnormal hair growth(I grow hair literally everywhere and have to shave daily), I have always been "obese" no matter what I do(I exercise regularly, eat within my calorie deficit) up until I started MJ anyway. I've always suffered with acne on my face and bum and have extremely oily skin and me and my fiancƩ(together 13years) have always had unprotected sex and my oldest is 8 and youngest is 4 with no pregnancies in-between ect ect...

Prior to this i have tried to get the doctors to take my concerns seriously and they have always brushed me off, never even done blood tests, now ive had a CT and its confirmed the cysts along with my symptoms I was wondering if they'd have to help me and take me seriously so I can get some help? How do i go about getting them to listen? Also im worried they won't help now im at a healthy BMI even though that's only due to the mounjaro... please help any advice would be appreciated 🄹

So getting a diagnosis of pcos unfortunately doesn’t get you anywhere because it’s a syndrome which just means a collection of symptoms you already know you have. What’s more useful to figure out is the underlying driver of your symptoms. For most people it’s insulin resistance so treating like you would diabetes is often very helpful so your GLP-1 may be helpful, inositol, sometimes metformin, most importantly improving your diet (see the glucose goddess hacks) and adding gentle exercise after meals. There are also other drivers though. Some people specifically have problems with high androgen levels, and for others the driver is stress or adrenal fatigue. There are different blood tests you can ask for to help narrow it down. I liked the book ā€˜getting pregnant with pcos’

Am I pregnant?

I lightly spotted almost 5 days ago, which is not common for me before my period.
My period was supposed to come today. I should have tested in the morning but its 5:30pm.
Is there a second line??

Anyone have this happen before?

We were not trying to conceive, used protection and had sex on week 2 of my cycle (accidentally on my peak ovulation day). Week 3 we had Flu A. Week 4 my period did not come (it’s very regular). I tested and it was negative (2 different brands).
What should have been week 2 of my next cycle (now 6 weeks post last period), I had light red/ pink spotting for one day when I wiped. The following week, I tested again, still negative, but this time almost all the dye was in the negative space, which I’ve never seen happen before. The area where it shows one horizontal line for negative and a plus sign for positive, the horizontal line was super faded at the 3 minute mark, and the negative vertical line in the next window was VERY dark. Now I’m on week 8 of all this, period did not show up yesterday. Nothing in my life has changed (no additional stress, no other illness, no changes in diet or exercise, etc).

Has anyone gone through this and NOT been pregnant? I’m super nervous as we thought we were done having kids.

PS. I know I should go get a blood test, does anyone know if urgent care will do that? I’m past being convinced by a pee test.

Help pls

I'm 7 weeks pp. Not had sex or even done anything but my tests have come back positive. I wouldnt test but had symptoms of pregnancy so I tested. What does this mean? Google says it should have been negative at this stage unless its a new pregnancy or bits of placenta has been left behind. I had a c section so šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø

Is it normal to test positive still? (Wouldn't usually do one)

Not the best pic and clearer in person. Is this normal? I've not had any sex since having my LO but I've had strong cravings, sense of smell is strong and my hair still hasnt started to fall out. Im 7 weeks pp so šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø I wouldnt normally bother testing but with those symptoms that I never really have its like whats going on. Cravings for something very specific too and can only get from KFC now 😩 so its annoying

Can baby mamas be friends?

My son has an older brother from his biodad. Biodad has never had contact with my son. One thing lead to another though and the other child's mother and I got in contact and are planning a meeting for the boys. Biodad has no idea any of this has happened. Biodad also hasnt had contact with the other child in about 2 years. Just thoughts, opinions, anyone been through something similar?
Edit-Thank you all! Have definitely been feeling somewhat weird about it because we never met before but now know it can be a good thing definitely helps. I can't wait for them to meet. My son has been asking for a brother and I can now happily tell him he has one. That just happens to be 13. Im sorry for yall that fight/have issues with the other baby mamas. Sadly some women rather be stuck on the men, when the kid is the one who really matters. They're the ones that end up getting hurt and missing out.
