I have PCOD but usually have regular periods. My last period was on 4th, and I took a pregnancy test which came out positive. It has now been 1 month and 1 week. Should I take any special precautions because of my PCOD? I am not currently on any medication.

Even though you have PCOD, regular periods and a positive test are encouraging signs. Its best to start with a Beta HCG test and an early ultrasound to confirm the pregnancy location and growth. Begin taking folic acid supplements and avoid stress or heavy work. PCOD may slightly increase early pregnancy risks, so early monitoring is key. Please consult a gynecologist soon to start routine antenatal care.

Hi Doctor, I was married on 22nd July, and my period was due on 10th August. I did a home urine pregnancy test, which showed a positive result. Yesterday, we confirmed with a Beta HCG blood test, which showed a value of 4152 mIU/mL. Does this confirm my pregnancy, and how many weeks pregnant am I likely to be? I have attached the Beta HCG test report for your reference.

Could I still be pregnant even after a negative blood test 15 days past my period? I also have PCOD and high prolactin levels

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I missed my period and underwent a beta hCG test, which came back positive with a result of 161. After 2 days, I repeated the test, and the level decreased to 96. Does this mean I am having a miscarriage? If yes, will it happen naturally, or do I need to take any medication for it? Please help.
