Question 1

I'm trying to figure out the difference between PCO and PCOS because I've been reading about both and it's a bit confusing. Can you explain how they're different from each other? I'm also curious about the symptoms for each one and what kind of treatments are usually recommended for them. I've been experiencing some irregular cycles and want to know if it's related to either of these. Can you help me understand this better?

Accepted Answer

PCO (Polycystic Ovaries) refers to ovarian cysts, while PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) is a hormonal disorder characterized by PCO, irregular periods, and hyperandrogenism, with symptoms including acne, excess hair growth, weight gain, and infertility; treatments include birth control pills, fertility medications, anti-androgen medications, and lifestyle changes, with PCOS requiring additional treatments like metformin and surgery in some cases.

Question 2

I've been really stressed since I had sex on July 10 and July 26 with different partners, both times using protection. The first guy finished inside the condom, and the second didnt finish at all. Im now 40 days late on my period and starting to worry. I took three pregnancy tests on August 11, 29, and 31, and all came back negative. This week, Ive been dealing with a nasty fever, cough, and severe headache for three days. The fever was pretty bad for the first two days but got better on the third. I also felt pretty nauseous then, almost threw up a couple of times, but didnt actually puke. Plus, I had this mild pain in my left breast earlier in the morning, but it later disappeared. Im wondering if theres a chance I could be pregnant or if its just stress from my hectic lifestyle. Would love some advice here.

Accepted Answer

Based on the details you shared, including the use of protection, the negative pregnancy tests, and the timing, its highly unlikely that you are pregnant. The delay in your period may be due to stress, illness, or hormonal fluctuations. If your period doesnt arrive soon, consider consulting a doctor for further evaluation. Take care!

Question 3

I'm a bit concerned about some symptoms I'm experiencing. My partner and I had sex around my ovulation, specifically on day 14 of my cycle, and now just two days after, I'm noticing weakness, leg cramps, and feeling like I'm going to vomit, but without actually throwing up. Could these be early signs of pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Its possible that these symptoms could be early signs of pregnancy, but they can also be linked to hormonal changes around ovulation. If your period is late, a home pregnancy test can help clarify whether you're pregnant.
