I am 28 years old and just took a pregnancy test, which came back positive. I am feeling very anxious, extremely tired, and drowsy. I already have one child, 4.5 years old. Could you please advise what steps I should take next and any precautions I should follow at this stage?

Congratulations. Start folic acid immediately and schedule first scan at 6 to 7 weeks. Tiredness is common in early pregnancy. If severe, check thyroid and hemoglobin.

I am 22 years old and married. I am a C section mother of a 1.5 year old baby. My period is missed, and there has been no physical relationship with my husband. We tested with a pregnancy kit, the first result was negative, and the second was positive. My last period was on August 25. I also have constipation, digestive problems, and pain in the lower stomach. Please help me.

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?

Hi, today is the 12th day after IVF. Can I do a urine pregnancy test at home now? I have heard that sometimes urine test results may differ from a blood beta hCG test. Which test would be more reliable at this stage?
