Polycsytic Ovary Syndrome and pregnancy?

This is a bit weird but my friend's girlfriend is turning into something of a "bunny-boiler" who is constantly trying to trap him & freak him out with ideas of being pregnant. She suffers from polycystic ovaries and hasn't had a period for 6 wks, they have only had sex using condoms & he isn't aware of any ripped ones. His girlfriend has attended the gynaecologist with a suspected cyst, but tells him that the doctor says the scan does not show a cyst and she may be pregnant and should go back in two weeks. I find this a bit weird - with modern technology surely they would be able to test immediately for pregnancy? Or at least in a couple of days max? Why 2 wks? And is a drug available that shrinks - or gets rid of the cysts available? She has said the doctor says she couldn't have a cyst, as they have given drugs to get rid of the cyst so she MUST be pregnant, but I can't find this treatment when I have searched the web.
Has anyone else had a similar experience that can advise?

Have your friend go with her to the doctor. If she says no then she is lying if she says yes then maybe. They should have been able to tell if she was pregnant and they would have givin her a PG test right then and there. No their is pretty much nothing to get rid of PCOS. I have lived with it now for years and it does take people with it a while to get PG . My husband and I tried for a year before anything happened. In my opinion she is a lier. Tell your friend after is all straight to get rid of her.

There are loads of reasons for missing periods - medication, stress, weight gain or weight loss, a medical problem other than the cysts. Being pregnant isn't the only possible reason.
If she has polycystic ovarian syndrome then it is highly unlikely that she is pregnant.
You can surf the condition by calling it that name if that is what she is diagnosed with.
There are drugs they use to treat it, but it has been many years so I am sure it has changed since I was treated.
The syndrome makes it hard to get pregnant without fertility drugs.
Her doctor is absolutely wrong. You CAN get cysts, even with medication taken for poly-cycstic ovaries. People with polycystic ovaries often have skipped periods, even with the best of treatments. I myself have this and end up skipping two, even three months at a time.

Sounds like her dr is treating her wrong, and giving her bad advice. She needs a better dr who knows what they are talking about.

Also advice your friend, that he may want to call the dr himself (tho doubtful they would tell him anything with patient rights laws), because there is a chance she could be making it all up, too.

Early on, when I was first diagnosed with PCOS, I had tons of pregnancy scares until I got used to it. People with pcos who do get pregnant, however, sometimes have hormone problems that might not allow a pregnancy to show up at first... some do not know until they are two or three months pregnant.

But yeah... she should definately find a better dr!

Edit: to answer your question, dr's usually give BIRTH CONTROL or hormone medication to lessen the size of cysts... if she truly has pcos I'm appalled her dr hasn;t already put her on BC!
I have PCOS.
One of the symptoms of PCOS is irregular periods, so it can be difficult to know when a woman is "due on". As it takes 14 days from conception for the HCG hormone to build up to a detectable level, the doctor may be wanting to wait that bit longer before testing for pregnancy.

If she is really trying to fake a pregnancy, she won't be able to get away with it for long. Just advise your friend to continue to use condoms during sex, as she may be trying to make him complacent about contraception in order to actually get pregnant.

However, if she does suffer from PCOS, she is probably aware that it is very difficult for her to fall pregnant, and if it happens, she will be unlikely to want to terminate the pregnancy. Your friend needs to be sure about his relationship and what he wants.

they could do a blood test and that would have showed if she was pregnant. they would have probably already done this. i have pcos and it is very very common for late periods for months even. so if they always use condoms and she has pcos than she probably is not pregnant, since it is quite difficult for some woman with pcos to even get pregnant without fertility meds and stuff. so my bet is she really isn't pregnant although she might not be trying to scare him or anything because when i was younger i use to think i was pregnant because i didn't know that i had pcos and my periods would be late. but then again there is always a chance but i dought it.
