PCOS and pregnant?

Question

LMP was 15 November. My abdomen is severely distended but with no pain. Just darker skin around labia, slightly more prominent veins in breasts along with slight fatigue and occasional slight nausea. I have severe PCOS (loads of cysts, but not overweight or with many other symptoms besides irregular periods) and I only chart periods. I've taken two tests, one Friday afternoon and one Saturday Morning (both BFN), but I wouldn't think I'd be 4 weeks pregnant and it could cause this amount of distension. Had two 29 day cycles in a row, and would have been due if that held this month. Called my surgery and its three weeks for an appointment. Any advice? I'm starting to freak out a bit. I can't even fit in my normal trousers. Looking at the photo, I'm normally almost completely flat stomached. HELP!

Answer

It’s most likely bloating. I also have pcos and found out right before my next expected period was to come. Luckily it didn’t. But I was m or ally pretty flat. Started gaining a little recently but right away I was so crazy bloated! This was when I was maybe 4 weeks.

And here. This one was from last week. About 8 weeks. I do definitely feel like my uterus is growing a lot faster than expected. But I know it’s not bloating anymore.

I did have to buy new pants. And omg. It is so worth it. Those maternity pants that go over the belly. So nice. And I don’t know. I like the compression over my belly. Hahaha I definitely recommend getting some good magnesium vitamins on top of the prenatal ones because your digestive tract is slowing down like crazy and you will get backed up. That will cause more bloating. Try to stay regular! And drink plenty of water. 😊😊
