Strange Pressure in my Uterus and 3 weeks late....

Okay so I have some strange things going on here. I have PCOS. My ob/gyn put me on Metformin last summer. I have had absolutely flawless cycles since being on it, until now. I am about 3 weeks late. A million negative pregnancy tests later, for the past week I've had this really strange pressure in my uterus. It almost feels fatigued. I mostly have it when I'm sitting or laying down. It is constant. So much so that it keeps me up at night. It does not hurt. It is just uncomfortable. I've been getting mild menstrual cramps since my period was due. It feels like I'll be getting my period so much that I'll run to the bathroom with tampon in hand, and nothing. It almost feels like a clear period if that makes any sense. What makes me the most angry is that I made an appt with my ob/gyn Thursday. She had me take a urine test (which I knew would be negative) told me it was neg, lectured me for about 20 minutes on eating right to conceive, and tried to force a fasting glucose tolerance test on me, (which I cannot tolerate since I had gastric bypass back in 2005) So I know I'm throwing a lot of info at you guys, but what could be going on with me? Frequent urination and negative for UTI. Shooting pains in my nipples and sensitivity, come and go mild cramping, no spotting, off and on nausea mostly when I'm hungry, 3 weeks late, lower back pain, strange uterine pressure that almost feels like muscle fatigue, blue veins on my breasts, indigestion, and not much interest in food, when I usually love to eat.

 

I was super angry when I left my appointment enough to make an appointment with a new doctor, cause I am so done with my current doctor. I'm worried it could be fibroids (though I have no history of that) or a cyst. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to listen to my body and its telling me you are pregnant, but the tests won't confirm. LOL. Mostly what is making me the most nervous is this uterine pressure. Has anyone ever had this??

I have a co-worker with PCOS who didn't get a positive pregnancy test until very far into her pregnancy. She had to have a blood test to confirm after she was already a few weeks along. I have heard of this happening to other people too. It certainly sounds like you have all the symptoms! If your OB won't give you a blood test, will your PCP?
Keep us posted!

PCOS here too~I took about 5 tests and was about 3 weeks late when I got a BFP with Logan.
The pressure and strange feeling could be a cyst on the side you are ovulating on, along with pregnancy. What about going to your GP and ask for a blood test?
My GP is a family doctor (I am lucky) so she will run tests for me.
I wish you luck either way so that you have peace/piece of mind~

I also have PCOS, was on Metformin, among other things for fertility treatment, and did not get a BFP until about 6 weeks and very faint at that. I ended up going to get a blood test at a local clinic because even when I called my specialist they said it was likely a false positive from all the meds and what not. They had done an u/s and blood test about 4 weeks prior which showed nothing and that I had not ovulated either...my thoughts...I ovulated late and that since I had super low progesterone levels that had to be supplemented the urine tests were not as accurate in the early stages. I would request a blood test.

I'm curious to see how this all turns out for you. I too have been experiencing some of your symptoms - the most bothersome is the sharp, stabbing pains through my nipples and my breasts are heavy when usually they are empty skin.

Good luck! I hope all of what you're going through ends up being what you wish for.

I went to my other doctor and she did a pelvic exam. She said "everything looked beautiful" so I'm guessing she would have been able to tell if I was? She didn't want to do an ultrasound or anything else because I am scheduled to go to a fertility specialist in the beginning of May. It did put my mind at ease, but still no period! I'll still be testing every week though. Any news on your front? Good luck and best wishes!
