Question

I'm dealing with some menstrual issues and it's been bothering me. My last period was on February 11th, and now it's March and I'm late. I've been feeling some symptoms like lower abdominal pain and backache for the past five days, and I'm not usually late like this. I'm getting a bit worried since I don't have a history of late periods. What could be going on?

Question

I've been worried about traveling on the bumpy roads in Bangalore since I'm 22 weeks pregnant. I need to travel 14km each way to work by bus, and it feels like there's a jerk, pothole, or bump every 10 seconds. I chose the bus over a car or auto thinking it would be smoother, but the bumps still seem pretty intense. Could this be harmful or cause any complications? I'm quite anxious and would appreciate any advice you could share.

Question

I'm really confused about my pregnancy test results. I took a Prega News test and there was only one line, but I noticed that the HCG absorbent paper turned pink after about 3 minutes. My period is supposed to start on the 28th of this month. I even took the test yesterday and it came back negative. Does the pink color on the absorbent paper mean there's HCG hormone present?
