My name is cristal and My husband and I have been trying to conceive for a very long and dissapointing year. I haven't had my period for a total of 69 days. I took 2 hpt's that both came out negative. With no signs of a period other than cramping and mood swings I went to my obgyn and asked her if she would perform a blood pregnancy test. She very bluntly told me that she doesnt think that im pregnant (kinda like a slap in the face) and without hesitation told me that she thinks that i may have polycystic ovarian syndrome. She is performing all kinds of blood tests and its driving me crazy not knowing whats wrong. So far all tests are coming back "normal". But it definately isnt normal to not have a monthly period. I have a scheduled pelvic ultrasound on march 9 2010 . but i think i want a second opinion. my husband and I are very eager to start our new family and patience is running low i dont know what to think or what to do.Waiting for results is making me nuts. We dont know what to do and the longer it takes the more depressing it seems

Crystal,
I am very sorry to hear about what you're going through-- it can be very frustrating. Thank you for posting your story and welcome to EmpowHer.
Your doctor seems to be doing the right thing although it may not be what you want to hear. After 69 days of no period and 2 negative urine tests, chances are you are not pregnant; it definitely would've picked up the hormone by now. She may be wrong about the PCOS but it doesn't hurt to get tested and you will find out with the scheduled ultrasound whether or not you have PCOS and definitely if you are pregnant.
If you still want a second opinion and are not comfortable with your doctor by all means, please do switch doctors. It is very important to feel comfortable with your doctor and if that is not the case, then I'm with you on this second opinion you want to seek. Have you been irregular all your life or is this recent? Unfortunately, the stress from trying to conceive a baby can definitely take its toll and cause you to be late or even completely miss a period.
Here is some more info on PCOS, if you are interested: https://www.empowher.com/condition/polycystic-ovarian-syndrome
Best of luck to you and I hope your doctor has some answers for you soon!
