I have free fluid in the POD region on day 16 of my follicular study, and the report mentions an irregular and collapsed follicle on day 16. I have been undergoing follicular study, does this mean I am pregnant?

Free fluid and a collapsed follicle typically mean ovulation has occurred, not pregnancy. Pregnancy can only be confirmed with a missed period and a positive urine or blood test.

Dr. Shaik Suggests...

Take a BETA HCG (TOTAL) Test or Take a URINE PREGNANCY TEST (CARD METHOD) Test

Book BETA HCG (TOTAL) Test Book URINE PREGNANCY TEST (CARD METHOD) Test
