My friend menstrual cycle is delayed by 1 week. She has had consistent unprotected sex, with the last instance 2 days ago. She recently had a fever for a day and now has a cold and cough. She took a pregnancy test, and it came back positive. Could this test be wrong? It is an unwanted pregnancy, what options does she have?

Positive test and missed period is likely pregnant. Fever/cold do not affect test. Consult gynecologist for safe options. Do Serum Beta hCG test to confirm. Avoid self medication.

Hi. I had IUI done on 23rd December. I am using Susten 300 and Duphaston tablets and took an HCG shot (5000) before IUI. Can I get a correct pregnancy test result while using these medicines? How and when should I take the test? My LMP is 10th December. Kindly suggest?
