Pcos

Usually they’ll order a series of blood tests and take an ultrasound if you’re having symptoms, but there’s no single pcos test. They don’t test while you’re pregnant but definitely talk to your doctor about your concerns because the sooner it’s caught the better.

I had my last appointment on the 28 idk if I should just call and schedule another one

I had a blood test in the very beginning for other things and they never said anything to me then?

Was that blood test just a routine early pregnancy blood panel? And were you having Pcos symptoms before you got pregnant? To diagnose Pcos they’ll want to see your hormone levels during your normal cycle and to check if you have cystic ovaries and that can’t be determined during this time because pregnancy stops your cycle and causes your hormones to go out of the normal range and can also cause temporary ovarian changes for some people. So they probably still won’t test until after you deliver and finish postpartum. I would wait until my 6 week pp appointment to bring it up, but it doesn’t hurt to call before and see what your doctor says.

I was I have always had irregular periods and kinda Hairy I'm just worried bc I read it can effect baby Durring birth

I have pcos and it was tested before pregnancy during regular cycles, we went through fertility testing because we hadn't conceived in over a year of trying. Note that I've always had irregular cycles, random acne issues, other symptoms of it. They tried to have me on medications that just made my life worse, came off of everything again and got pregnant after we had stopped trying. So although it's wonderful to now know I have pcos, after pregnancy again I absolutely will not go back on their medication suggestions and will look back into natural improvements like I was. It has had no affect on my pregnancy, I will be induced next Saturday.

I am going to try and have natural labor bc I was never tested for it and I have no other reason to have a c section I just don't want to hurt my baby in anyway

@Clarina ahh I see. This is all info I got from my doctor but I’ve been diagnosed with it and I’m also due next month and as far as I know it doesn’t really affect your pregnancy or delivery. It might put you at slightly higher risk for some complications like preeclampsia and diabetes, but these are all things they check you for anyway and will treat if needed so try not to worry too much.

I know I got my blood tested I don't have either of those
