Hi, I have missed my period for 6 days. When I checked with an HPT, it was positive, and the test line is much darker than the control line. I am having mild pain and a sensation on one side of my abdomen. Is this normal? The pain is very mild, but I am worried if this could be a serious issue?

A dark positive HPT usually confirms pregnancy. Mild pain on one side can be normal in early stages. To rule out issues like ectopic pregnancy, do a Serum beta hCG Test and Pelvic Ultrasound. These confirm location and health of the pregnancy.

I took Hucog 5000 injection on 03 Dec, i.e., the 23rd day of my cycle. When should I expect my period to start or go for the pregnancy test?

I had a D and C on 10th August and got my period on 10th Sept. Today I took a pregnancy test, and it came out positive. Since I conceived just one month after my D and C, am I at an increased risk of miscarriage again?

I took Regesterone 5 mg twice daily for 13 days to postpone my periods. It has been 10 days since I stopped the medicine, but I have not gotten my period yet. I only had a little spotting on the 5th day. My urine pregnancy test is negative. What should I do?
